This bug occurs on Ubuntu 14.04 as well, which is what I'm running. But for some reason the bug utility will only let me report it on this thread.

I already knew that the Catalyst 15.2 beta drivers didn't work, that's why I never moved to Ubuntu 15.04. The last working drivers are Catalyst 14.12. I use Cairo Dock and the 15.2 drivers cause freezing and jittering in the dock, and random crashes elsewhere.

I accidentally installed them because I guess they've just been backported to Ubuntu 14.04. Please remove them from the repositories until they are officially available from AMD. I always have problems with the pre-compiled fglrx drivers but when I compile them myself they always work. I can't do that with the Catalyst 15.2 drivers because for some reason only the Ubuntu developers have them. Very strange, and unwise.

If someone wants to move these comments to a 14.04 thread for this identical bug please do, I wasn't able to do so myself.
