Hey! I have a major problem with my Chromium OS build (I'm using a laptop with an AMD processor) :

Whenever I boot via the USB, the screen just stays black and a lot of small red artifacts show up all across the screen. I suspect the drivers to be the cause, but I have no idea how to solve it..
Can anyone help me? I have tried almost every chromium build out there, but none of them work.. It's most likely the display driver that's not supported, as I've heard that Intel is pretty much the only way to go... But I was wondering if there's a build with AMD drivers pre-installed on it?

PC Specs:

Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II N950 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
Memory: 4GB
Hard Drive: 500GB HDD
OS: Windows 8 Pro
Display Type: 15.6 inches LED
Max Resolution: 1366 x 768
GPU: AMD Radeon 6750M

Your problem is most likely the Radeon 6750M. If you haven't tried the Dell builds, check the builds at linux.dell.com/files/cto
If that build did not work, then you will most likely need to roll your own, as I do not believe Chrome OS includes Radeon drivers.
