Hello Manuel, I did test against my card I have a Radeon R9 290 and the packages I installed were fglrx-x11-drv-14.9-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64, fglrx-x11-drv-32bit-14.9-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64, and kmod-fglrx-14.9-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 and ran a few different programs for testing, StarCCM+, tested some WebGL demos. I can confirm against KDE and Gnome environments things are sane. I've rebooted serveral different times and can jump around virtual consoles. I also have tested against an older Radeon HD 6950 card I had available. I should be able to test against some campus machines that are running FireGL cards. However I did notice that it seems to be using the legacy format for atieventsd, but from what I understand this is fine since systemctl will deal with those accordingly. Although I suspect that init script should be converted at some point.
At least for me it seems stable on my end.
