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

 

I have the same problem after upgraded from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04. My
graphic card is AMD R7 260X using fglrx-amdcccle-updates
2:15.200-0ubuntu4 driver. This driver seems working fine except I got
blank screen when I tried to switch to virtual consoles with ctl+alt+fx
keys.

The open source driver radeon is even worse, it randomly crashs X and
get to the login screen and you can't log back it from the login screen.
Instead, you need to "sudo killall Xorg".

Tried many suggestions so far from the web, it didn't help.
