i hope posting here for help is the right thing. this page
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD said to come and
report if i had issues with additional drivers, but wasn't sure what i
should do from that page so i just tried the above. was afraid to mess
things up too bad. when i tried that beta from additional drivers years
ago it messed things up so bad i only had black screen and it took five
hours to figure out how to fix it from the bootup. couldn't tell you
what i did that finally fixed it lol.

thanks in advance for your help. this really sucks...

Title:
  Failed to upgrade fglrx from 14.502 to 15.200 on Trusty.

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in fglrx-installer source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  SRU Request:

  [Impact]

  Upgrading from the upstream fglrx driver packages to the packages in
  the Ubuntu repository fails because the /etc/ati directory is a real
  directory instead of being a link (which was common in the Ubuntu
  packages).

  [Test Case]
  1. Install the fglrx driver (14.502) in Ubuntu 14.04 generating deb packages from the AMD installer 
  2. Upgrade the package to the current ubuntu release.
  3. Check the apt-get output 

  Expected results: the fglrx module should be updated correctly.

  Actual results:
  The update fails as described below.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. The change only affects a migration from a specific release.

  
  ______________________________________
  Note that the fglrx 14.502 package name is fglrx_14.502-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb, which is from AMD's site, not from Ubuntu repository.
