Improved the title and description, added workaround.
** Description changed:
- 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'.
+ 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.
+
+ 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'.
