Hi All I have an AMD APU system with two graphics cards - one integrated and one stand alone (RADEON HD 6550 & 6670). I have been having the same problem as described above, every time I install the driver from AMD's website generating a new xorg.conf, rebooting removes it and the system goes into a black screen.
I followed the instructions as above, did a fresh install of 14.04, enabled trusty-proposed, updated ubuntu-drivers-common and reinstalled the drivers, but the problem persists. xorg.conf keeps getting rewritten and the system goes to the black screen on reboot. I am using the Catalyst 14.6 driver from AMD's website and am choosing the Generate distribution specific package option for the installation. Am attaching the gpu-manager.log here. Have been struggling with this for the last few months and the problem is that the system under Xorg is almost unusable - laggy graphics and keyboard. I do hope someone can help me with this. The only other option I can see is fall back to 12.04, which was working fine on my machine. Thanks in advance folks.
