Bug Description
Dear Developers,
just looking at a fglrx bug #1537502 (GPU-fans not moving)
conviced me to place this request, as with a new R9 AMD graphics-card the current solution doesnt seem to offer a real alternative . And recommending to switch to Xenius right now neither.
Since I'm using MESA 11.3 from GIT + Mainline-Kernel (knowing about possible consequences in a testing-system), I'm not knowing if this request can be filled with the most current Linux-Kernel at hand for Wily.
The biggest advantage I see, is easier switching from IGP to DGP (as to mention).
Also I'm not knowing if the installation of FGLRX was done in that bug-rep wt Jockey or manually. But such an error should by all means not occur, as it's endangering the hardware.
Thanks for caring & best regards

We can't just upgrade packages in old releases like that. If you have a specific bug we can backport the fix for it if it exists.
