[Bug 1470862] Re: When using fglrx module, the virtual consoles are blank and useless

 

I'm affected by this bug too in Ubuntu Mate 15.04 amd64, after installing fglrx-core 2:15.200-0ubuntu4 ,
 fglrx  2:15.200-0ubuntu4  and fglrx-amdcccle   2:15.200-0ubuntu4  the six virtual consoles are blank, only  Ctrl+Alt+F7 works to get back to the graphical environment.

Removing the fglrx packages brings back the consoles.

In past Ubuntu releases (Lucid and Precise) I did not have this bug,
although the fglrx driver in that case had been manually installed
starting from the installer downloaded from the AMD site rather than
directly installing the fglrx packages from the official Ubuntu repo.
