Also, aticonfig reports unsupported hardware as well:
robert@CPCUbuntu:~$ aticonfig
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
Perhaps a new bug report should be filed for this problem?
** 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'.
