[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1442921] Re: Ubuntu-Proposed Catalyst fglrx* 2:15.200 missing link to fglrx_drv_video.so

Setting the link fixes vainfo physically, but not logically. There is a version mismatch for libva shipping with Vivid (1.5.x / API 0.37.0) and AMD's driver (1,3.x / API 0.33.0). Unicorn has version 1.3, so AMD's driver works with that version both logically and physically only. Output on Vivid
