I was able to successfully apply the patch in #29, and I can confirm it working on kernel 4.2.0-16-generic, 7950 card.
After applying the patch I manually had to:
1. blacklist the radeon module.
2. execute aticonfig --initial.
3. freeze the installed packages.

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).
