Hi,thanks for the reply - am not in front of the machine today so I
cant really test unfortunately, but will get you the information
as soon as I can. The user is indeed in the 'video' group and
the machine is booting using normal BIOS not UEFI though, so all
things are "as the should be" regarding setup I think.

What drivers should I be using in Xorg for this by the way ? Thats 
something I cant seem to find anywhere. 'amdgpu' sonds like the right 
one possibly ?

-pete.
