Hahaha; well nothing we could do except dropping the keyword.

Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-14 06:58:51 UTC
Hmmm, LOL, this is displayed on x86 as well? Well, I guess this thing can go to /dev/null completely then.

I hope to have a version without that annoying watermark ASAP.
As always, feel free to unmerge/mask it.
Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-14 07:15:40 UTC
Well, can you at least p.mask it? I certainly don't want to receive any dupes about this.

Done!
Comment 7 A Blamey 2007-08-14 11:18:49 UTC
There's an easy fix for this described here:
http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?s=ec53bec617e954f2cb5c6f33849c63bc&t=4235&page=5

I'm not familiar with how the ebuild uses the ati-driver installer script/binary, but it could copy the string found on the 'signature=' line into the file /etc/ati/signature.

I've done this manually and it's fixed the problem for me.
Comment 8 Dieter Ries 2007-08-14 14:17:38 UTC
Yes, fixed it here, too.
I did the following:

./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --extract && cp ./fglrx-install.c6g5KH/common/etc/ati/signature /etc/ati/

After restarting X, the watermark had vanished.
