I could get rid of the problem through upgrading to 15.10 and getting
rid of fglrx - BUT! - I was greeted with a black screen at first My
displays could not be detected. Via ssh I remotely logged in from
another computer and completely removed my ati drivers, removed my
Xorg.conf, and reinstalled Xorg (https://askubuntu.com/questions/68306
/how-do-i-remove-the-proprietary-ati-drivers).

Trying that please be sure you have remote access to your computer or
could find yourself stuck in front of a black screen!

So now I can agree Alberto Salvia Novella. My virtual consoles, my
graphical session, and libreoffice (whose crashes had been the reason
why I had to switch to fglrx) all work fine.

Title:
  When using fglrx module, the virtual consoles are blank and useless

Status in fglrx-installer-updates package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the PC boots it shows the sddm login, but if I switch to the
  first virtual console using Ctrl+Alt+F1, the console is blank. The
  other consoles are in the same state. Only the virtual console with
  the sddm login, is running fine.
