Hello,
At the time of posting this I am running a fully patched system, namely:
% cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"
VERSION_ID="16.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"

My graphic adapter:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos PRO [Radeon HD 7450] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
And as I am trying to install OpenCL from http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/OpenCL2-Driver.aspx it’s complaining about my Xserver?!
% ./amd-driver-installer-14.41-x86.x86_64.run
Created directory fglrx-install.dFMMaD
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

error: Detected X Server version 'XServer 1.18.4_64a' is not supported. Supported versions are X.Org 6.9 or later, up to XServer 1.10 (default:v2:x86_64:lib:XServer 1.18.4_64a:none:4.4.0-71-generic:)

Does that mean the vendor needs to recompile their installer or can something be done from a OS perspective?
Thanks in advance,
