Same here. i run 2.8 on my IBM with AMD graphics.

I second toredale...
If you were my neighbor, I would personally install Linux Lite 2.6 for you, and then upgrade you from there to Linux Lite 2.8.  I think you would be happier with the result.  And you would still have just over 2.5 years of support left.  That's also 2.5 years for AMD to decide if they want their proprietary drivers to be a part of Ubuntu again.

Remember the issue you having; whether its a black line, screen tearing, a few other known issues isn't a fault of LL3.0 its any Ubuntu 16.04. AMD/ATI/Radeon support isn't there as it was in Ubuntu 14.04 (LL2.x series) the easiest and most stable resolution(IMHO) would be install 2.6 then 2.8 and see if support returns..
If you really want LL3.0 or any 16.04 you'll be chasing drivers... And truthfully the fault isn't Ubuntu, AMD is no longer maintaining the driver..

Some info to get you started.. I don't know your exact chip/model so the info is semi generic..

That tearing you mentioned is due to the drivers? (I have AMD 740G onboard)
Ive noticed it a few times when using apps like Viber,FB Chat...;render would brake,badly
(although system is using Galium0.4 drivers)

When I had 3.0 installed on this Dell it produced a faded line across the whole screen I know it has something to do with this distro 3.0 because with the 2.8 it does not happen.  I know you stated it was my graphic card because it was ADM

Radeon is the model name of a series of AMD/ATI graphics cards.

I don't know what shaded line you're referring to.

I addressed this in your other post concerning AMD graphics cards and Linux Lite 3.0.  Based on your posts, it doesn't seem like you're having a lot of fun right now with your AMD graphics card.  It doesn't have to be that way.

I've looked at the specs for that Dell Inspiron 531 machine, and that leads me to this.  If you were my neighbor, I would personally install Linux Lite 2.6 for you, and then upgrade you from there to Linux Lite 2.8.  I think you would be happier with the result.  And you would still have just over 2.5 years of support left.  That's also 2.5 years for AMD to decide if they want their proprietary drivers to be a part of Ubuntu again.

Hello I remember your mentioning the ADM graphic card, and I also stated I changed it to another card the Radeon grachip card, R5 / 220, 

I did install 2.8 because 3.0 was not working as it should but I was wondering if there was anyway to get 3.0 to work on this machine with out that shaded line across the screen. I don't have a problem installing Linux lite just have the line issue with 3.0

I'm using one of my machines, Dell 531 and I installed 3.0 on it then I notice a shaded line across the screen this machine had a ADM graphic card but I changed it to a Radeon grachip card, R5 / 220, is there anyway to correct this and get rid of this shaded on the screen?

Thanks so much
