Title:
"Unsupported hardware" watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on
13.04
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The driver included with the package fglrx in 13.04 has an issue with
unsupported hardware. The newer driver that ships with fglrx-updates
seems to have corrected this issue. Please install the fglrx-updates
package if possible. If you must stick with the older fglrx package,
you may use one of the below workarounds. But be aware, you will not
be able to use tools such as aticonfig.

Description]-------------------------------------------------------------------
On the latest daily release of Raring, a watermark/overlay shows in the
bottom-right corner of the screen when fglrx or fglrx-updates is installed. It
reads "Unsupported hardware" and has the AMD logo above it on top of a
semi-transparent black background.
This watermark is essentially equivalent to the "Testing use only"
that appears when the proprietary beta drivers from AMD's website are
installed. Therefore, the same workaround applies:
[Workaround] (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!)
Step 1) Create and save shell script with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
DRIVER=/usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call/&&/EnableLogo/{print
"\\x"$2"\\x"$3"\\x"$4"\\x"$5"\\x"$6}'); do
sed -i "s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g" $DRIVER
done
Step 2) Make the script executable
Step 3) Run the script
Step 4) Log out and log back in
----
If the above workaround doesn't work for you, an alternative is to try
the version of /etc/ati/control from the fglrx that shipped with
Quantal.
Step 1) Save a backup of the old control file, just in case -- sudo cp
/etc/ati/control /etc/ati/control.watermark
Step 2) Download the Quantal fglrx source package from
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/fglrx-
installer/2:9.000-0ubuntu3/+files/fglrx-installer_9.000.orig.tar.gz --
you will NOT need to build or install it.
Step 3) Open that tar file with Archive Manager. Find etc/ati/control
and extract it.
Step 4) Copy the freshly extracted version of control to
/etc/ati/control then restart your system.

Description]-------------------------------------------------------------------
After upgrading to raring and installing the latest fglrx package from the
archive I get a AMD branded overlay in the bottom RHS of the screen with the
message 'Unsupported hardware'.
