There are no glx support with fglrx_experimental_9 for Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Thames XT/GL [Radeon HD 7600M Series] [1002:6840].

Checking unity compatibility by following command:
$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -c -p
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request: 22
  Current serial number in output stream: 22

Pacakages that installed by jockey:
ii fglrx-amdcccle-experimental-9 2:9.010-0ubuntu0.3 Catalyst Control Center for the AMD graphics accelerators
ii fglrx-experimental-9 2:9.010-0ubuntu0.3 Experimental AMD binary Xorg driver and kernel module
rc fglrx-updates 2:9.000-0ubuntu0.3 Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators

However it can be fix by using latest stable driver[0] from amd website[1], following this guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

GLX will be loaded without error.

@kaxing
Does jockey suggests fglrx-experimental-12 to you? Please try fglrx-experimental-12 and report if it works or not, thanks.

@anthonywong,
yes, jockey shows three drivers:
fglrx_experimental_12
fglrx_experimental_9
fglrx_updates

I've tried all of them, and fglrx-experimental-12 appears the same result, no glx support as well.
