This bug was fixed in the package fglrx-installer - 2:15.201-0ubuntu2 --------------- fglrx-installer (2:15.201-0ubuntu2) xenial; urgency=medium
* debian/control.in, debian/dkms.conf.in, dkms/patches/force-gcc-to-4.9-instead-of-5.x.patch: - Add a dependency on gcc-4.9, and force fglrx to use gcc-4.9. This prevents fglrx from dying on initialisation (LP: #1493888). Credit for finding out the actual problem and for suggesting a workaround goes to David Burrows. Note: this is only a workaround, and it will be dropped as soon as a proper fix from upstream is available. -- Alberto Milone <alberto.mil...@canonical.com> Mon, 26 Oct 2015 16:42:55 +0100 ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with gcc 5 Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in fglrx-installer source package in Wily: In Progress Bug description: With a R9 280 and FGLRX on ubuntu 15.10 the graphics lock up. I am able to SSH into the machine. I booted the older kernel (4.1.0-3-generic) and it works with FGLRX. After purging FGLRX and using xserver-xorg-video-radeon I am able to get the graphics working, but even it has issues with my display port (The DVI ports are working correctly).
