AMD watermark removal

**Kymus** · September 15th, 2013

This issue has probably come up a bunch of times.. After installing the AMD proprietary drivers, I now have an AMD watermark in the bottom right part of my screen that. won't. bugger. off.

I just reformatted and reinstalled Ubuntu because fixing this problem before rendered my system unusable with no other recourse.

I need to remove this thing (can't use the open source drivers) since this is my HTPC and I use it for XBMC and games, but I am incredibly aprehensive since I'm not looking forward to going through all the hassle again.. >_<

What version of Ubuntu did you install? In my experience, the best way to combat it is to install the latest driver (13-8 Beta 2). Link for 13.04/Raring: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...2FEXPERIMENTAL

If the watermark is still there using the latest beta driver, then you have a really new card, and you're just going to have to live with it until AMD puts out a newer driver (or use the open-source driver).
