Re: no drivers for amd r5 m315 graphics card

"neither of them works" is not an error message.

How did you install the drivers? Please post the logs from startx attempts with both drivers.

EDIT: you mention having two graphics chips, so this may be of use to you: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME

I installed the drivers by using pacman , sudo pacman -S xf86-video-ati, then i only got intel graphics card,
sudo lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"               
[sudo] password for arrow:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520 (rev 07)
    Subsystem: Dell Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520]
    Kernel driver in use: i915

Re: no drivers for amd r5 m315 graphics card

If X is going to be using the intel gpu you don't need either xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-amdgpu. For that matter you don't need xf86-video-intel either, it should just work™ with the built-in modesetting driver, which also makes using prime much easier.

That said, "doesn't work" is not a description of the problem or what you might be trying to achieve, you'll have to describe things better if you want people to spend time trying to help you.

Are you sure you actually have this AMD card? Please post the full lspci output.

Also, please use code tags for terminal output going forward.
