  SRU Request:

  [Impact]

  The fglrx driver is not compatible with gcc 5.x. This causes the
  kernel module to crash on initialisation. As a result, users will boot
  into a black screen, as X will fail (except on Intel+AMD hybrid
  systems, where intel is used).

  [Test Case]
  1. Either install (or upgrade to) Ubuntu 15.10 and fglrx
  2. Reboot
  3. Check the display, and the output of the "dmesg | grep fglrx" command (to see the actual crash)

  Expected results: the system should be able to start X correctly.

  Actual results:
  The kernel module fails and X doesn't start.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. Forcing fglrx to use gcc 4.9 is only a temporary workaround, and will be replaced with the proper fix once AMD makes it available.


  __________________________________________________________________________

  With a R9 280 and FGLRX on ubuntu 15.10 the graphics lock up. I am
  able to SSH into the machine. I booted the older kernel
  (4.1.0-3-generic) and it works with FGLRX. After purging FGLRX and
  using xserver-xorg-video-radeon I am able to get the graphics working,
  but even it has issues with my display port (The DVI ports are working
  correctly).
