i tried to boot safe Graphics mode in live mode but installing the right drivers seems like i need more work about understanding how to install properly. Unfortunately i dont have the time right now due to my final exams so ill try again later. Ill follow your updates on the update blog Thanks again. so after a research i found out that since 16.04 AMD catalyst drivers are no longer valid, its an issue for every machine that has RADEON GPU. I found out that there is an open source drivers called AMD-GPU and AMD-GPU-PRO not sure whats the difference but i only found installation notes on AMD-GPU-PRO. when i followed the installation notes on AMD site i came across with message "Unsupported OS". found this guide dont try it, if your'e having the same issue https://www.reddit.com/r/elementaryos/comments/4wl6f0/amd_gpu_pro_on_loki_ubuntu_1604/ which showed how to make it worked for elemantary os. I tried it but still came across a blank screen when trying to boot up normally. Now even booting via recovery mode to safe graphics mode doesn't work anymore lol. I did all of this after updating everything to latest version. including kernel. Please let me know if i can do anything else or if the update goes live Okay, There may be a work around for this. Go here. and download the driver for your device i.e. Radeon 6000 Series. However, there is no driver for Ubuntu 16.04. The only drivers available are Ubuntu 15.04 and Common Linux. You can try compiling the Linux Driver but in order to install the Ubuntu 15.04 driver in Ubuntu 16.04 modify /etc/lsb_release file using your favorite text editor and change the following information: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=vivid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="BackSlash Linux Elsa" and save the file. Extract the contents of your file and open a terminal at the extracted location. Type ./ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run (Or Whatever version you have downloaded) and you're ready to go. Hope this Helps.

Hope this Helps. now i cant even manage to get the catalyst running it keeps saying in the terminal to check logs and there i see that it cant find version.h linux headers although they are installed. i also found this article which is telling that its not going to work www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/ubuntu-drops-amd-catalyst-fglrx-driver-16-04it seems the only way is somehow installing AMDGU open source drivers / integrate them to BackSlash Linux OS. BTW: after editing lsb-release i still get the Unsupported Os on installing AMD-GPU-PRO

Hello, The only fix that seems now is to integrate all AMD Drivers in the next release of BackSlash. This would make the ISO large in size but if we cut down Apps or provide two versions, that may be possible. Till then, We are sorry that we can't solve your problem.
