According to a posting it is possible:

http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?p=1335043887&postcount=6

DRIVER=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
TMPDRV=/tmp/fglrx_drv.so
for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call/&&/Logo/{print "\\x"$2"\\x"$3"\
\x"$4"\\x"$5"\\x"$6}'); do
 sed -i "s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g" $TMPDRV
done
cp $TMPDRV $DRIVER

Haven't tried it so don't know. Anyway, I don't know if this fedora list
is the best place to ask about proprietary drivers. The phoronix forum
is always a good (and maybe a better) place.
