Confirmed not working on Ubuntu 15.10 64bit with my AMD R9 390 on kernel
4.2.0-16.

Both fglrx and fglrx-updates will return a black screen of death upon
reboot after installation. The only way to revive the system is to do a
fresh install.

This will cause many people to break their systems when they choose to
upgrade their systems to 15.10 with an AMD card and attempt to install
Catalyst.

I'm going to try the Kernel 4.1 workaround now, see if it works or not.

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).
