[Oneiric] [Kubuntu] Unsupported hardware watermark with fglrx on Radeon HD 6650M (regression)

[Scott Testerman]

The Radeon HD 6650M in an Acer Aspire 7552G-6436 was supported with the final release version of fglrx in Natty, but is now showing the Unsupported Hardware watermark with Oneiric. The watermark appears on a fresh install of Kubuntu Oneiric Beta 2.

Unlike bug 817011, brightness works correctly, but I suspect that may be because my hardware controls brightness, rather than depending on a software interface to do so.

Performance also is unaffected, as all desktop effects display correctly and fgl_glxgears moves at a respectable speed.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Fixed in fglrx 8.902 (Catalyst 11.10), working on released Kubuntu 11.10.
