** Description changed:

- Please upgrade to new upstream release v. 13.12.
+ Please upgrade Saucy's fglrx-installer (and/or -updates) to the new
+ upstream release v. 13.12.
  
  [Impact]
  
  This driver supports Kernel up to 3.11 and Xorg up to 1.14; ie. it
  should fully work on Ubuntu 13.10.
  
  The version 13.11 Beta V9.4 also fixes the following issues:
  
      [372656] : Resolves crash when resizing Konsole
      [388325] : Resolves brightness adjustment issues
      [388818] : Resolves kernel module compile failure when 
CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS is enabled
      [388335] : Avoids the new GPL symbol acpi_bus_get_device for new kernel 
support
      [386897] : Resolves system hang on resume from S4 with OpenGL screen 
saver running
  
  The change log for the v. 13.12 is in comment 3 below.
  
  It might make sense to also upgrade the stable package, as the v. 13.11
  beta 9.4. is the first version that has native support for Saucy's
  Kernel.

- 
  [Test Case]
  
  After installing the update, users should be able to boot the system as
  usual, with no regressions of any kind.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Low. The new driver version doesn't add any new features apart from
  having a native support for Kernel 3.11. All other changes are bug
  fixes.

  Thanks.
