The ATI “unsupported hardware” watermark is a very annoying sight in Linux Mint 15. Here is how to remove it.
This tip is for anyone who has installed the ATI drivers by typing sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle.
Firstly; download the ATI drivers from the website.
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip.
Then move the downloaded file into a new folder and then extract the file.
unzip amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip |
Then extract the driver package.
./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run --extract |
Make a backup of your existing /etc/ati/control file.
cp /etc/ati/control /home/homer/Desktop/ |
And then copy the replacement file into the folder.
sudo cp fglrx-install.t5BiCT/common/etc/ati/control /etc/ati/control |
After this, logout and log back into your desktop and the watermark should no longer appear.
