I have some taint error while using fglrx-update from wily-proposed. Nevertheless, i can boot with the proposed driver. modinfo fglrx also shown nothing, maybe due to signature issue.

This causes the kernel module to crash on initialisation. As a result, users will boot into a black screen, as X will fail (except on Intel+AMD hybrid systems, where intel is used). [Test Case] 1. Either install (or upgrade to) Ubuntu 15.10 and fglrx 2. Reboot 3. Check the display, and the output of the "dmesg | grep fglrx" command (to see the actual crash) Expected results: the system should be able to start X correctly. Actual results: The kernel module fails and X doesn't start. [Regression Potential] Low. Forcing fglrx to use gcc 4.9 is only a temporary workaround, and will be replaced with the proper fix once AMD makes it available. __________________________________________________________________________ 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).
