[Bug 1510573] Re: fglrx should blacklist amdgpu

 

** Description changed:

- The fglrx packages should blacklist amdgpu so that the said driver does
- not prevent fglrx from loading.
+ SRU Request:
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+ The fglrx driver can't be loaded unless the amdgpu driver is blacklisted
+ (as we already do with the radeon driver).
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Install fglrx on Ubuntu 15.10
+ 2. Reboot
+ 3. Check the output of the "lsmod | grep fglrx" command
+ 
+ Expected results: the fglrx module should be loaded.
+ 
+ Actual results:
+ The kernel module can't be loaded because of the amdgpu driver.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low. We already blacklist the radeon driver; now that amdgpu is available in the kernel we should do the same.
+ 
+ ------------
+ The fglrx packages should blacklist amdgpu so that the said driver does not prevent fglrx from loading.
