This is also happening in Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.3 LTS : right after
installing fglrx-updates and fglrx-amdcccle-updates the virtual consoles
become unusable, i.e. totally blank.

Again, as bad as the AMD support for Linux may be, as a matter of fact
the proprietary driver is (unfortunately) still better then its open
source counterpart: display quality is noticeably better, screen
adjustments are way easier and more fine tunable than messing around
with xrandr, composite window  managers don't work properly or don't
work at all  with the open source driver.

Much as I would like to do without the proprietary AMD driver, I need to
use it to have my hardware working as I want, so please fix this issue.

Title:
  When using fglrx module, the virtual consoles are blank and useless

Status in fglrx-installer-updates package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the PC boots it shows the sddm login, but if I switch to the
  first virtual console using Ctrl+Alt+F1, the console is blank. The
  other consoles are in the same state. Only the virtual console with
  the sddm login, is running fine.
