AMD driver issue

[radix]

If you guys are using kernels later than 3.9.1 there is a patch that must be applied to the driver to properly register with DKMS. With base ubuntu installs, this shouldnt be an issue, but if you run a custom kernel, it most likely will not work. The reason that 12.11b9.4 is working, is because it has the code needed.

Note, this patch is completely unsupported by AMD and might cause testicular cancer, explosive bowel syndrome, and premature hair loss.

Code:
