Bug description:
Release 15.10 Wily Beta 2.
GPU R9 290. Hawaii Core.
When switching to fglrx from radeon, I get no graphics.
Scenario 1: Use the "Additional Drivers" push-button to change to
fglrx ; do not create xorg.conf.
Result: On reboot, both the Displayport and DVI screens turn off (
disconnect ), and the keyboard becomes unresponsive ( caps lock and
other toggles stop working ). Cannot switch to other VTs, but can use
the Alt-PrtScrn(RSEINUB) safe reboot method.
Scenario 2: Use the "Additional Drivers" push-button to change to
fglrx ; use amdconfig --initial to create xorg.conf.
Result: On reboot, both the Displayport and DVI screens remain active
but blank, and the keyboard becomes unresponsive ( caps lock and other
toggles stop working ). Cannot switch to other VTs, but can use the
Alt-PrtScrn(RSEINUB) safe reboot method.
I originally had this behaviour when I tried to build Catalyst 15.9 (
which I think you are using in wily) from the AMD website against
Ubuntu 15.04. I assumed there was a problem with Kernel DRM
components, so I tried it in the wily beta in case the new kernel
solver the issue, but have exactly the same result. This version of
Wily beta 2 is installed from the DVD ISO, not upgraded from 15.04 (
although I did use the option to retain existing personal files ).
I doubt this is an Ubuntu-resolvable issue, but if it is an AMD issue
you are more likely to get them to fix it than individual users.
