[Joschi <joschi.a@xxxxxx>]

I switched to proposed and was able to install fglrx-updates without
problems. After a reboot my .Xauthority file was owned by root causing
me to be stuck at the login screen with poor screen resolution. I was
able to fix the .Xauthority file:

sudo rm .Xauthority

The file got re-created a few times with root ownership (which should
not be the case?) but after:

sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start

it seemed to be recreated with user ownership so I SHOULD be able to login. However that was not the case.
Running

sudo Xorg -configure

gave the following error message:

Bug description:
  
  SRU Request:

  [Impact]
  fglrx cannot be installed correctly together with the new lts stacks.

  [Test case]
  Installing the xserver from lts-utopic will prevent the current fglrx from being installed. The new fglrx will install correctly

  [Regression potential]
  Low. This fglrx release is already in use in 15.04 without any major issues.
