I have a PITCAIRN PRO 7850 and boot freezes at splash screen. Could not
access other ttys. Got in with laptop that upgraded fine with ssh and
was able to get default monitor and display settings only, but cannot
succesfully get open source drivers or fglrx working fully.

Title:
  FGLRX incompatible with kernel 4.2

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
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).
