This bug was fixed in the package fglrx-installer -
2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.2
---------------
fglrx-installer (2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.2) wily-proposed; urgency=medium
* debian/rules:
- Blacklist the amdgpu driver, so that fglrx can be loaded
on the systems where the GPU is supported by amdgpu (LP: #1510573).
fglrx-installer (2:15.201-0ubuntu2~15.10.1) wily-proposed;
urgency=medium
* debian/control.in,
debian/dkms.conf.in,
dkms/patches/force-gcc-to-4.9-instead-of-5.x.patch:
- Add a dependency on gcc-4.9, and force fglrx to use gcc-4.9.
This prevents fglrx from dying on initialisation (LP: #1493888).
Credit for finding out the actual problem and for suggesting a
workaround goes to David Burrows.
Note: this is only a workaround, and it will be dropped as soon
as a proper fix from upstream is available.

Bug description:
SRU Request:
[Impact]
The fglrx driver can't be loaded unless the amdgpu driver is
blacklisted (as we already do with the radeon driver).
[Test Case]
1. Install fglrx on Ubuntu 15.10
2. Reboot
3. Check the output of the "lsmod | grep fglrx" command
Expected results: the fglrx module should be loaded.
Actual results:
The kernel module can't be loaded because of the amdgpu driver.
[Regression Potential]
Low. We already blacklist the radeon driver; now that amdgpu is available in
the kernel we should do the same.
------------
The fglrx packages should blacklist amdgpu so that the said driver does not
prevent fglrx from loading.
