amd unsupported hardware image on hp 655

pier_andreit · August 7, 2012, 6:31pm

I bought an hp 655 with suse linux enterprise desktop 11, as I like kde I installed and used it, I followed instructions and updated everything, it seems to went successfully, but a strange image appeared in the low-right part of the screen, it cannot be ksnapshoted, it says, “AMD unsupported hardware”, and is superposed to others icons and I can click through it.

question is:
How can I get rid of this image?
My video seems ok, is AMD driver running properly?
thnx, ciao, pier:-)

Hi
It may not have updated your driver properly, if you run the following
command (as root user) and post back within code tags;

fglrxinfo

Hi
Do you have the ATI repository available, can you post the output from
(again as root user);

zypper lr -d

and

uname -a

Interesting it would seem it’s the ATI driver, a user on the openSUSE
forum has posted a script you can run to remove;

AAAhh, interesting, I will check, thank you again, ciao, pier

pier_andreit · August 12, 2012, 2:07pm

oook, :-)) if it helps:
My videocard is radeon HD 7310 graphics on SLE11 (maybe sp2 I don’t know)
the one the thread referes to is a 6310 on opensuse 11.4

I ran the first script from here:

#!/bin/sh DRIVER=/usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call/&&/EnableLogo/{print "\\\\x"$2"\\\\x"$3"\\\\x"$4"\\\\x"$5"\\\\x"$6}'); do sed -i "s/$x/\\x90\\x90\\x90\\x90\\x90/g" $DRIVER done
as superuser, the result was this:

pla@linux-hp655:~> su Password: linux-hp655:/home/pla # cd bin linux-hp655:/home/pla/bin # sh fixwatermark1.sh objdump: '/usr/lib/fglrx/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so': No such file linux-hp655:/home/pla/bin #

I ran the second script:

#!/bin/bash DRIVER=$(find /usr/lib*/xorg/modules/drivers -name "fglrx_drv.so" | head -1) SEDCMD=$(objdump -d $DRIVER | awk '/call/&&/EnableLogo/ {printf "s|\\\\x%s\\\\x%s\\\\x%s\\\\x%s\\\\x%s|\\\\x90\\\\x90\\\\x90\\\\x90\\\\x90|;", $2, $3, $4, $5, $6}') cp $DRIVER{,.org} sed -i "$SEDCMD" ${DRIVER} done

as superuser, after some seconds the result was this:

fixwatermark1.sh fixwatermark2.sh linux-hp655:/home/pla/bin # sh fixwatermark2.sh fixwatermark2.sh: line 13: syntax error near unexpected token `done' fixwatermark2.sh: line 13: `done' linux-hp655:/home/pla/bin #
I don’t know if the scripts did something or the errors occurred didn’t allowed to perform, but the watermark is still there.:-))

a little offtopic, what do you think about to get rid of sle11 and install 12.1??
I tried with a spare hard disk of my old laptop to install 12.1, it seems to works well, I can install the kde4.9, and the touchpad works better, installed atiupgrade and installed last ati driver and it seems to works quite well, it has the watermark as well,
I tried to upgrade to 4.9 in sle11 but a lot of dependencies popped up, so I gived up.
is there as your opinion some good reason to remain in SLE11 ??? or bad reasons to install opensuse 12.1??

thanks, ciao, pier

Hi
It all depends on your requirements, I multiboot between openSUSE, SLED
and SLES on this machine, I just tend to spend more time in SLED for
stability. I roll my own packages if I really need something specific on
the Open Build Service.

I also use vmware player and kvm to fire up others to test out.

I would wait until 12.2 is out next month if your going to look at
openSUSE, you can always download a live cd (RC2) and boot from that to
see how it goes.
