Public bug reported:
The latest major update has been been added to the AMD fglrx drivers,
and packages need to be built for Ubuntu.
Unlike 15.5-15.9 this is a major improvement, almost as big as last
year's "Omega" update, not just a minor bugfix release.
While a few of the biggest updates (suc
Public bug reported:
AMD released the Catlyist 15.9 update to the AMD driver several months
ago, but the driver has yet to be added to the repositories.
Some of the patches are no longer necessary, such as the OpenCL provides

nicely.
This way we can have a link to the code for the driver and direct
indicators of what needs to be improved.
Also, I don't want to start another flame war, but I'm thinking the
driver MIGHT be ready to have a tag in the
Temporarily, it might be a prudent option to place it as a separate
binary allowing programs to override and use the new binary or the old
binary while the default binary is chosen by the alternative system due
to the fact that some programs may require the old version. This has
