Hey guys,
I have just a small problem (not really, been trying to solve it for a day now), where attempting to install any driver from AMD on Arch Linux results in the driver not finding my muxless discrete graphics card (8870m). I have a Samsung 770Z5E laptop if anyone wants to lookup the specs. The weird thing is, it has installed fine on every other operating system I have tried it on (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary), all debian based I'll give you that, but Arch just doesn't want to recognize my graphics card.
If you need me to post any command output I'll be willing to do that asap. I just want to get this sorted out.
