[Bug 1493888] Re: FGLRX incompatible with kernel 4.2
Same here of course. Thanks to all involved in reporting, and fixing---
Rant:How is it possible that 15.10 goes to release with a bug like this,
affecting so many users (yes, the ubuntu releases should be tested on
nvidia and amd moderna cards before release). Yes, I do love Ubuntu, and
Yes I know it should be AMD releasing their source and specs, but still
-- shouldnẗ this be a release blocker.

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).
