Can anyone tell me why loaded latest fglrx Ati/AMD prorietory driver is identified as "oland" with Radeon HD 6800 VGA card (command: fglrxinfo); and also CCC identifies (catalyst 13.12 stable installed) my card as HD 8600 while my card is a Radeon r7 250? Since the drivers had worked (till the latest package update wrecked my GUI again *), I tend to believe it is normal. Is it normal?

For the original question: The R7 250 is a rebranded HD 8670, based on the Oland chipset. That the driver still reports 8670 is not an issue.

For determining the driver in use, I use lspci -v and look for the "Kernel driver in use" in the "VGA compatible controller" section. I expect it will say fglrx in there, to confirm what lshw is saying.

To remove the beta watermark, I have found that this answer worked well: .
