After purging the old PPA, and setting up Nick Andrick's PPA, I tried
installing the fglrx-installer package. However, no such package

because it places the AMD Unsupported hardware watermark on the
bottom-right corner of the screen.

The FirePro M7740 uses the same chip as a RadeonHD 47x0 (RV740). I see

When I used the official Ubuntu GUI for closed-source drivers, I would
