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

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 a...@nibbles.it wrote: I've this vga: 01:05.0

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,

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
