Sean Fitzpatrick, so here is AMD's official response:

"All Workstation products including FireStream have been removed from Catalyst drivers starting 2013. We have a separate driver for Workstation products. I have instructed our web team to make the corrections. For FireStream 9250 you can either install CAT 12.10 or the 8.911.3.4. In terms of Xserver support, please note that this feature has been added to 9.012 drivers and above. So the next Workstation driver will be supporting Xserver 1.13, however the FireStream 9250 will not be supported in 9.012 driver. Cat 12.10 or 8.911.3.4 will be the latest driver for the legacy FireStream 9250."

Marking TrIaged Wishlist as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance as this is a bug "that would only be fixed on a outside-contribution basis" in that AMD would either have to resume support for Firestream 9250 in Catalyst 9.012 drivers and above (where xserver 1.13 is currently supported), or backport 1.13 support to the AMD FirePro™/FireGL™ Unified Driver version 8.911.3.4+.

Thank you for your understanding.
