Title:
  FGLRX package cant be installed and run correctly on 15.10 UPGRADE

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi there!

  I cant get my graphics to work properly.. I have an AMD radeon HD 6450
  card, I changed the display drivers via

  system settings -> programs & updates -> additional drivers

  to fglrx there (switching from the default xserver-xorg-video-ati),
  that worked.

  But when I did upgrade the distribution from 15.04 to 15.10, it just
  "hanged" when loading ubuntu.. it never got into xserver.. managed to
  get around that by connectin an old monitor via vga to my mobo
  directly, then it worked somehow by displaying the picture on my main
  screen via hdmi via amd hd 6450..

  Have tried to install fglrx back and forth trying to get it to work,
  but it does not seem to work..

  
  I did get this message when filing the bug:

  "Your system is providing 3D via software rendering rather than
  hardware rendering.  This is a compatibility mode which should display
  3D graphics properly but the performance may be very poor.  If the
  problem you're reporting is related to graphics performance, your real
  question may be why X didn't use hardware acceleration for your
  system."

  
  What is even more disturbing is that I cant switch back to xserver-xorg-video-ati eighter and run that driver via the "additional drivers" settings dialogue.

  Dont know if I should file that into a separate bug but thought it
  maybe helps reporting that.

  
  Dont know how to get fglrx to work actually.. also the screen is reporting just a single resolution that is very low that I also even cant change..

  Thanks for reading.
  Have a nice day!
