can I use the old fglrx_drv.so installed before, such as the squeeze

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so, installed in wheezy?


I agree that it might not work, and I would not try it, but there are
several versions available at
<http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/fglrx-driver/>. The .deb file is a
compressed file, that can be opened by, e.g., the gnome archive manager, and
there, under /usr/lib/fglrx/, there is a file named fglrx_drv.so.

I found the fglrx_drv.so from version 11-6-3 and substitute the
present 11-7- one.

something went wrong, so I came back to the new one.

There is a script I downloaded which could help to get rid of the
watermark which showed "AMD unsupported hardware".

The script is as followed, it's targeted on the old fglrx_drv.so,

#!/bin/sh
DRIVER=/usr/lib/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

while for the version after 11-7-* when I used it, it showed:

$ ./ATI_driver_fglrx.sh
sed: -e expression #1, char 45: Unmatched [ or [^

is it possible to compare the two fglrx_drv.so, and modify this script
to fit for the new one, so can remove the water mark.

Thanks,



/ johanan
