Same problem on iMac15,1 with Radeon R9 M295X Mac Edition
and 4.2.0-7-generic (wily / 15.10)

Two partial workarounds:

- downgrade to 4.1.0-3-generic and install fglrx-updates
  but bluetooth will not work --broken with this kernel*
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg64098.html

- use 4.2.0-7-generic but remove fglrx-updates (fglrx-amdcccle etc.)
  bluetooth will work but no radeon hardware acceleration (No Steam, etc.)

In my case I need to choose between bluetooth devies and 3d graphics
(radeaon)

Title:
  FGLRX incompatible with kernel 4.2

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With a R9 280 and FGLRX on ubuntu 15.10 the graphics lock up. I am
  able to SSH into the machine. I booted the older kernel
  (4.1.0-3-generic) and it works with FGLRX. After purging FGLRX and
  using xserver-xorg-video-radeon I am able to get the graphics working,
  but even it has issues with my display port (The DVI ports are working
  correctly).
