I adapted the wording on this bug to make it clearer that this is a SRU
request for Saucy and not a request to upgrade fglrx's version in
Trusty.

Title:
  [SRU] Please upgrade Saucy's fglrx to new upstream release v.13.12
  (has support for Kernel 3.11)

Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.

  /en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Latest-LINUX-Beta-Driver.aspx and
  http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-
  articles/Pages/amdcatalyst13-12linreleasenotes.aspx

  [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.
