Bug Description
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.
