[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.

[Bug 1098561] Re: Unsupported hardware watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04
I have installed fglrx-updates and I still have the Unsupported hardware watermark. According to synaptic the fglrx-updates version is: 2:9.012 I'm using Linux Mint 15 (upgraded from 14). fglrxinfo outputs: 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 have an HP Sleekbook with dual graphics card (Radeon HD 7600G + Radeon HD 8500M) and an A8 processor. I have tested the 2nd workaround copying the control file from the previous driver (12.X, can't remember correctly which one it was). Any other suggestions?

I tried the workaroud, but was not successful. After installing it xserver wouldn't start. I'm not that versed in console commands and couldn't recover it. I finally re-installed my Linux Distro.
