Screen tearing with Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics. Driver needed?
by beachboy2 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AWY7)
I recently built a new desktop PC using an AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Processor with onboard Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics. All went perfectly.
I have just bought a similar PC off the shelf for a friend and I am installing Linux Mint MATE.
The problem is that I am getting screen tearing on this second machine.

If so how do I proceed? Download site etc?
Is anybody else using a similar set up?
