You have been subscribed to a public bug: I've had this problem for a few months since I first installed the drivers found in "System Settings > Additional Drivers ". As soon as I installed the driver, the watermark appeared, and has been present ever since.
This problem is fully reported in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2109972 . I recently got the following from AMD : "Please note that this issue has been resolved with our latest CAT 13.1 driver. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&la ng=English" So I've been waiting for an update including the new drivers. An update arrived today, but it did NOT fix the problem. I've tried all of the Additional Driver options with the following results: - first one in the list - Works, but exchanged the "Unsupported" icon for a "3D Testing Only (or similar)" icon. - second one - Works, but has "Unsupported" icon - third one - "Post Release Updates" - would not complete installation, icon still there. - using none of them - STILL has "Unsupported" icon I've tried to use the Ubuntu drivers by not using ANY of the "Additional Drivers", but the $^&^&*^&* watermark icon remains. I think it gets dropped into static ram or something similar and needs something to wipe it out intentionally, otherwise it just sits there forever. I used Catalyst to install the post-release updates that wouldn't install from "Additional Drivers", and it worked. It both installed the drivers, and removed the $%^&^%&* watermark icon - at least for now. My advice to anyone with this problem would be to: Use Synaptic to install the driver, DO NOT do it through the "System Settings > Additional Drivers".
