 Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2012 5:16 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] AMD Testing use only Unsupported hardware |
 |
|
I recompiled
kernel 3.1.10-r1
with the only new setting CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND=Yes
then emerged
ati-drivers 12.4
again.
Now i have a watermark in the right bottom of the screen showing this message.
What to do and why is this suddenly?
Thanks in advance

Very strange indeed...

Sorry i forgot
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV620 [Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series]
Maybe it's relevant, an emerge update installed 12.6_beta driver because it was unmasked
in package.keywords. However, i switched back to 12.4 without rebooting so 12.6_beta was never loaded. |

if I'm not mistaken ati proprietary driver dropped support to <HD5000 cards in that version, findout what is the highest version that supports you card or switch to the open source driver.

Right, that's why i uninstalled it and installed 12.4 again.
Now it looks like this:
12.4 installed -> watermark
Installed 12.2 -> watermark disappears
Installed 12.4 again -> watermark still gone
Maybe the 12.6_beta installation left over some config files(?) that let the 12.4 driver think about a 'unsupported' hardware and the 12.2 install removed it.
Problem solved for now |

| This probably happens everytime the stable version in portage is an ATI beta. It happens again now with stable ati-drivers-12.11_beta. But since x11-drivers/ati-drivers-12.10, one can do USE="disable-watermark" to solve the problem. |

BTW: I currently also have that problem and that use-flag uses a dirty binary patch and is broken currently - it reproducibly lets the driver coredump.
in use are ati-drivers-12.11_beta, xf86-video-ati-7.0, mesa-9.0
Are there any other ways to get that stupid blend-in grafic vanish? |

Did you try adding 'disable-watermark' to your /etc/portage/package.use/package.use
| Code: |
x11-drivers/ati-drivers disable-watermark |

Thanks for this, Step.
It still is like this in 12.11_beta11. Guess it is a permanent "feature". Unnecessary, but not surprising that AMD want to emphasise the beta status with this as a disclaimer.
Also, I keep misreading the eix output. It said -disable-watermark in blue text and for a minute I thought that meant it was disabled.
Of course it comes out red if the use flag is active. So fixed with the addition to package.use.
