i was up to kernel 4.0.5 and the debian installer from AmD site
installed the packages reporting successful. however, it was only
partially functional. when i updated, via the kernelupdater application
to the next kernel4.1.2 i got all kinds of errors and xterm offered an
ambiguous last line,abort or remove folder. i am not sure which to pick.
so, may be facing another black screen. too bad these amd or gpu driver
updates are so problematic  before even getting to a kernel update, now,
who knows what will break down? i dont know whether to purge out the
kernel and go back to 3.17, way backward in other words, just to use a
fairly unstable linux version of amd ccc, or purge out fglrx which is
not even close to comparable to the latest windows 15.7 beta driver
released simultaneously.  amd needs to be far more concerned with linux
users or lose potential customers
