I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 and had the unsupported hardware watermark issue with a Radeon 6770 plus fan speed control for the card did not work.
The fix in the bug description did not work for me but instead corrupted the fglrx driver. After running the script, X froze and I could not kill it and could not switch to a terminal. Subsequent reboots went straight to a crashed state. I made a backup of the .so file so was able to restore a working system by rebooting into recovery mode and restoring the backup. I then tried to uninstall and reinstall fglrx and that did not get rid of the issues. Finally, I tried uninstalling the Ubuntu version of fglrx and installing version 13.4 from AMD's website and thad did fix both the image overlay and the fan speed control issue. AMD Driver: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx The Install Instructions I Followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI Notes about the 13.4 install process. - "Install driver" worked. - "Make Package" option did not work (missing dh). - No need to run amdcccle -- the old xorg.conf worked fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098561 Title: "Unsupported hardware" watermark appears when FGLRX is installed on 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1098561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
