@Sergey, How did you build it? Debuild binary doesn't work for me
(Ubuntu 15.10).

Bug description:
  Release 15.10 Wily Beta 2.
  GPU R9 290. Hawaii Core.

  When switching to fglrx from radeon, I get no graphics.

  Scenario 1: Use the "Additional Drivers" push-button to change to
  fglrx ; do not create xorg.conf.

  Result: On reboot, both the Displayport and DVI screens turn off (
  disconnect ), and the keyboard becomes unresponsive ( caps lock and
  other toggles stop working ). Cannot switch to other VTs, but can use
  the Alt-PrtScrn(RSEINUB) safe reboot method.

  Scenario 2: Use the "Additional Drivers" push-button to change to
  fglrx ; use amdconfig --initial to create xorg.conf.

  Result: On reboot, both the Displayport and DVI screens remain active
  but blank, and the keyboard becomes unresponsive ( caps lock and other
  toggles stop working ). Cannot switch to other VTs, but can use the
  Alt-PrtScrn(RSEINUB) safe reboot method.

  I originally had this behaviour when I tried to build Catalyst 15.9 (
  which I think you are using in wily) from the AMD website against
  Ubuntu 15.04. I assumed there was a problem with Kernel DRM
  components, so I tried it in the wily beta in case the new kernel
  solver the issue, but have exactly the same result. This version of
  Wily beta 2 is installed from the DVD ISO, not upgraded from 15.04 (
  although I did use the option to retain existing personal files ).

  I doubt this is an Ubuntu-resolvable issue, but if it is an AMD issue
  you are more likely to get them to fix it than individual users.
