Hello,

Is anyone having issues with the AMD video drivers on AWIPS 17.1.1-2? In
previous versions of AWIPS, I had no issues running it with an AMD video
card, but with the most recent release I've had nothing but trouble.

 I use the Elrepo KMOD-FGLRX video drivers, as the most recent video driver
release from AMD will not install on my version of CentOS (6.9).

Should I go out and buy an NVIDIA video card and junk the AMD one?

Thank you to anyone that can help me with this issue.

Brian Bernard
