It works with Yung's workaround in #43 of http://pad.lv/1424491

sudo apt-get install fglrx xorg-video-abi-15 libcheese-gtk23 libcheese7 libclutter-1.0-0 libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 libcogl15 libclutter-gst-2.0-0 gstreamer1.0-clutter libcogl-pango15

That bug was marked as Fix-released, but it can be reproduced, I think it's not fixed yet.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

what fglrx version are you using?

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Hi Alberto,

the fglrx installed with this workaround on 201305-13534 is 2:13.350.1
(But I think shouldn't it be 2:15.200-0ubuntu0.2 as for Trusty?)

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

You might want to use the package in trusty-proposed, which includes the fix. Somebody must have marked LP: #1424491 as Fix released, when it really isn't (as the packages are still in -proposed)

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Hello Alberto,

Yes, just enable the -proposed will allow this system to install the 2:15.200 fglrx on stock 14.04.2, I will mark this bug as duplicated.
Thanks!
