[Yung Shen]

trying to enable glx support by installing fglrx, after installed by using jockey,
now unity can work properly with glx function normally,
however there is an extra watermark on bottom-right corner.

I don't think there's anything we can do about it.

The driver says that the chipset is supported (in the X log):

Chipset Supported AMD Graphics Processor (0x999A) found

Maybe it's some sort of experimental support, and if AMD marked it so, this is really something that only AMD can fix

Hello,
I have verified this on 12.04.5 with 201303-13114, I think this issue does not exist anymore with the latest fglrx, I will mark this bug as fix-released.
Thanks
