Amd Radeon Hd 4670 Drivers For Mac

I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit on my old mid-2010 iMac, but quickly ran into some issues. When installing, the screen would go black after the grub interface, unless I added 'nomodeset' to the boot commands. Now Ubuntu 16.04 is installed, but the screen will stay black or freeze on the purple start up screen unless I have 'nomodeset' enabled. While it is currently in a working state, it isn't using the GPU for graphics acceleration.

I know the graphics power of this Mac is already poor, but I intend to install Steam on Ubuntu to play some basic 3D games, so I need graphics acceleration to work. I am struggling to find an answer to this problem online. While I've since lost the webpage, I read somewhere that the issue may have something to do with how Ubuntu wants to take over the graphics driver on the kernel in order to reduce flickering during boot, which isn't compatable with iMacs. I am open to installing an older version of Ubuntu if necessary. Graphics card: Radeon HD 4670 CPU: Intel i3-540 Output from command '/usr/lib/nux/unitysupporttest -p': OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. With these 2 options the use of the Radeon video card is eluded (so your original question too, unfortunately), but Linux starts well.

So, the question is now: how to make this permanent. The most natural way would be to put these options in Linux's grub. In my case, I have no 'grub' bootloader on the ReFind menu (have to work on that!). Another solution is suggested here:. Both are thus ReFind problems (to solve) I've tried (by modifying the refind.conf file on the Mac) to make them work. But didn't succeeded (yet).
