[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1510573@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package fglrx-installer -
2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.2

---------------
fglrx-installer (2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.2) wily-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/rules:
    - Blacklist the amdgpu driver, so that fglrx can be loaded
      on the systems where the GPU is supported by amdgpu (LP: #1510573).

fglrx-installer (2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.1) wily-proposed;
urgency=medium

  * debian/control.in,
    debian/dkms.conf.in,
    dkms/patches/force-gcc-to-4.9-instead-of-5.x.patch:
    - Add a dependency on gcc-4.9, and force fglrx to use gcc-4.9.
      This prevents fglrx from dying on initialisation (LP: #1493888).
      Credit for finding out the actual problem and for suggesting a
      workaround goes to David Burrows.
      Note: this is only a workaround, and it will be dropped as soon
      as a proper fix from upstream is available.

  fglrx should blacklist amdgpu

Bug description:
  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.
