Hi guys, Anyone know when we might see this fix make it into Ubuntu 16.04's official repos? I'm doing some app development that's hindered by this bug. (If there's a better forum for this question, I'd be grateful for a redirect.) Thanks very much, Christian -- You received this bug notificat

Please note that the WORKAROUND of using the https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx PPA is imperfect, because it places the "AMD Unsupported hardware" watermark on the bottom-right corner of the screen. On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 11:11 AM, Christopher M. Penalver wrote: > ** Changed in: fglrx

This is because ATI was not good about covering laptop-vendor-specific chips in their driver documentation. Consulting historical documents from AMD/ATI will not help you as much as one would hope. On Sun, Oct 21, 2012 at 10:50 PM, Christopher M. Penalver wrote: > Christian Convey, thank

I believe that's correct: the *current* version of fglrx doesn't support ATI FirePro M7740 chip. Unfortunately, it's only the current version that's compatible with the version of X that ships with Ubuntu 12.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages,

It sounds like you're in the same boat that I am. Basically, ATI decided that any Radeon product with a chip numbered 4xxx is too old to be worth supporting any more. ATI has written you off. On Sun, Oct 21, 2012 at 4:53 PM, Alessandro Polverini wrote: > I've this vga: > > 01:05.0 VGA compatibl

Not sure. I'm not that well versed on the intricacies of the X server and/or the linux kernel. I think it would take someone from AMD to say whether or not their newest driver REALLY needs version 11 of the ABI, or if versions 12/13 are actually okay as well. On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 11:56 AM, Ra

I'm going to add a comment to help people Googling this issue. The ATI Mobility M7740 chip, which was one option for the Dell M6500 Mobile Precision laptop, is apparently considered a 4000-series chip, and so is a victim of this AMD policy. One of the supposed justifications for over-priced "work
