Got one of these badboys and loaded up linux and was greeted with a big “Unsupported Hardware” watermark.

A little googling and i found this link:

The script is below ( i take no responsibly for you messing your system up )

#!/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

11/23/09 – *Edit* This fix is no longer required in the 9.11 drivers.
