[Bug 1098561] Re: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04
I tried out several things which I'll try to summarize: Using the package fglrx-updates my fglrxinfo output was as follows: display: :0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon (TM) HD 8500M/8700M OpenGL version string: 4.2.12002 Compatibility Profile Context 12.104 I ran a glxgears test and average FPS was ~500.00 I then re-installed the FOSS drivers doing a full purge as described here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx Booted my system back up and ran the same glxgears and FPS was around ~50.00. I believe this is to be expected since proprietary drivers should run better. I re-installed fglrx drivers but this time I did NOT install fglrx- updates package. My fglrxinfo output was: display: :0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon (TM) HD 8500M/8700M OpenGL version string: 4.2.12217 Compatibility Profile Context 12.104 (NOTICE how the OpenGL version string is now 4.2.12217 and not 4.2.12002 as in the fglrx-updates package) I ran another glxgears benchmark and oh surprise my FPS climed all the way up to ~1000.00. I basically installed the fglrx drivers as per these instructions: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29 Bottom line: FPS was a lot higher when NOT using fglrx-updates packages. All in all, the watermark was still there. I tried workaround #1 and it worked!!! I'm now watermark-free and also my FPS are as high as they can be =] P.S.

Glad to hear that, Kurt. Hopefully your problem was just specific to your setup. If not, then this complicates things. The newer catalyst driver probably has a performance bug. Could be specific to your card, though. I'm getting almost 2000 FPS on glxgears, which is fine by me.

I have the same fglrx-updates version. All the output of fglrxinfo is the same as yours except for the renderer string and the compatibility profile context (mine is 9.012). If the second workaround didn't work, I would first uninstall the proprietary driver and used the FOSS driver. If the FOSS driver doesn't work (doesn't work for me, either), then try the first workaround.

+ 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.

The fix in the bug description did not work for me but instead corrupted the fglrx driver. After running the script, X froze and I could not kill it and could not switch to a terminal.

Same story for: $ uname -r 3.8.0-12-generic Proposed workaround works, indeed I don't think this is the Watermark bug at all. Besides, the origin of this bug is described here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Amd_watermark and gives much easier solution. P.S. Still, the key error persists: # update-initramfs -u update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-12-generic modprobe: ../tools/modprobe.c:550: print_action: Assertion `kmod_module_get_initstate(m) == KMOD_MODULE_BUILTIN' failed. Aborted (core dumped) So I think this particular bug should be marked as related to (or merged with) the #1073062 bug. Moreover, it affects NVIDIA, AMD adapters and proprietary driver for Broadcom Wi-Fi. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098561 Title: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1098561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1098561] Re: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04
** Description changed:
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]
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.
+
[Original 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'.

[Bug 1098561] Re: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04
The shell script in the workaround failed here. The awk command produced a \x5b that sed choked on. So, I tweaked the awk script to bracket its output as sed character classes; that let the script finish, but I wound up with a corrupt fglrx_drv.so and had to drop into recovery mode, uninstall fglrx, then boot in to low graphics mode and reinstall it. However, the thread in http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2074962.html led me to a workaround that did succeed. I grabbed the /etc/ati/control from a 12.10 install that was running on the same system, copied that to the 13.04 system, and the watermark is gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098561 Title: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1098561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed:
On the latest daily release of Raring, a watermark/overlay shows in the
- bottom-right corner of the screen when FGLRX is installed. It reads
- Unsupported hardware and has the AMD logo above it on top of a semi-
- transparent black background.
+ 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]
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
[Original 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'.

Confirmed on 6670/turks. I'm positive this bug affects most if not all fglrx users. Good luck with the fix. Tell me if the workaround works for you guys or not. robert@CPCUbuntu:~$ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
