I switched to proposed and was able to install fglrx-updates without problems. After a reboot my .Xauthority file was owned by root causing me to be stuck at the login screen with poor screen resolution. I was able to fix the .Xauthority file:
sudo rm .Xauthority The file got re-created a few times with root ownership (which should not be the case?) but after: sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start it seemed to be recreated with user ownership so I SHOULD be able to login. However that was not the case. Running sudo Xorg -configure gave the following error message: ****************************************************** X.Org X Server 1.16.0 Release Date: 2014-07-16 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 3.2.0-70-generic x86_64 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux OO7-laptop 3.16.0-36-generic #48~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 15 13:11:28 UTC 2015 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-36-generic root=UUID=9ad1f2a0-562f-46da-82c0-4e0e403d7fbc ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 Build Date: 12 February 2015 11:11:26PM xorg-server 2:1.16.0-1ubuntu1.2~trusty2 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support) Current version of pixman: 0.30.2 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
