Comment 105 for bug 1310489

Over the last day I decided to try Ubuntu 14.10 to see if this Bug was still present. First attempt using the Ubuntu supplied driver in Additional Drivers was a failure. The installed driver contained AMD-APP 1526.3 which should be Catalyst 14.6. With this driver installed an incomplete xorg.conf was generated missing the Monitor/Screen sections, only the Device section was present. Only One card was present in clinfo, this also created numerous Errors using aticonfig and after a few attempts at reverting drivers and trying one from AMD the result was an unusable system claiming my password was suddenly invalid. Reading from AMD, is Cat 14.6 even compatible with 14.10? From here; http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Latest-LINUX-Beta-Driver.aspx
System Requirements: Before attempting to install the AMD Catalyst™ Linux graphics driver, the following software must be installed:
Xorg/Xserver 7.4 and above (up to 1.15)
Linux kernel 2.6 or above (up to 3.13)
My updated 14.10 has kernel 3.16.

On the second attempt, with a fresh install, I used Catalyst 15.5 from AMD First and that system seems to work fine. Both AMD cards are enabled , both appear in clinfo, and there isn't any problems using aticonfig. It would appear this Bug isn't present in 14.10 on this machine. I haven't tested the others. Unfortunately 14.10 has reached the End of Support and is not in consideration and my experience with catalyst 15.7 while running 12.04.x was not satisfactory, so, Ubuntu 15.04 is out as well.
