Hello Deepin community.
First, sorry for my bad english level. I'm not a good english speaker.

Well I have a question, I've prove a lot of linux distros and since kernel 4.4 or latests a lot of distros leave the propietary drivers support for AMD cards (fglrx) for example: Ubuntu 16.04, OpenSuse 42.2 Leap, Fedora 25 and more.

Now Im Using Deepin 15.3 and as I can see on Driver Manager, there is still the option to use Fglrx and Not de free driver.
So, if I change that option and chose flgrx against free driver, will I brake my system?
I dont't want to brake my x11 configuration and forget the graphic interface.

So I dont know if there is a viable option or a really bad Idea.

Thanks you!!

We will soonly drop the suppport for fglrx-driver, so I recommand you not install this driver.
You can just remove fglrx-driver with apt if you run into any problems.
If you installed fglrx-driver,it will be removed after the next upgrade.

As I know, the free driver will be instead of fglrx driver in Deepin 15.4.

Perhaps the best option is to wait until we have official support.
It is good to use the new driver, but it will be better with a new kernel, as it can be 4.9.

So you mean we can not use DEEPIN with AMD RX400?
