I can confirm that this bug is fixed if you install the latest 15.302
drivers from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/linux and also
carefully follow the Installer Notes here http://www2.ati.com/relnotes

systems.pdf.

The open source AMD drivers are not a solution; I was obliged to switch
to proprietary drivers because X/lightdm kept crashing on startup
leaving me only with VTs to trouble shoot. Now with the proprietary

Don't know if it makes sense to post, but I have the same bug
**without** fglrx, with NVIDIA hardware on a freshly installed Xenial
Xerus beta 2. It was there from the start. Maybe this helps finding the
root cause. It's not just fglrx.

With Xenial, when I boot with kernel command-line parameter systemd.unit

then the virtual consoles do work. But then when I do "sudo systemctl
isolate graphical.target" to start X11, then the virtual consoles don't
work.

Hi, This problem is still present in Xenial Xerus daily-build (I'm using
the MATE flavor).
I found that by changing, via update-alternatives, the x86_64-linux-
gnu_gl_conf and i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf link-groups back to the Mesa
choices, with the fglrx (or fglrx-updates) package still installed,
That was (probably) more or less a given, this is clearly an ATI/fglrx
issue.
What I don't understand is why is considered somehow acceptable to
suffer such an issue, or why the recommended "fix" (?) would be to get
rid of the fglrx driver altogether.
ATI support for Linux may be considerably
Tried today swapping my ATI card for an Nvidia card, back and forth
(fglrx vs nvidia drivers), I'm confirmed this problem goes away as you
switch away from fglrx / away from ATI.

Summarizing:
(1) This is affecting at least 15.04 and 15.10
(2) tty consoles are 'functional' but blacked out (if you log in
blindly, go back to destkop, and try `who`, there is a tty session
running)
(3) removing fglrx drivers is some sort of workaround, but presumably

We know that already, the issue is that they are not really usable if
blacked out: we have a monitor/display for a reason.
We also know that getting rid of the fglrx driver solves
This problem makes it so that neither driver works in all cases for me.

I could get rid of the problem through upgrading to 15.10 and getting

displays could not be detected. Via ssh I remotely logged in from

This is also happening in Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.3 LTS : right after
installing fglrx-updates and fglrx-amdcccle-updates the virtual consoles

I have the same problem after upgraded from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04. My
graphic card is AMD R7 260X using fglrx-amdcccle-updates

blank screen when I tried to switch to virtual consoles with ctl+alt+fx

With my ATI HD 7790, I tried the Open Source driver but it doesn't
support HDMI audio over DisplayPort. Now I'm not using DisplayPort but I
also had no luck because I'm using now two monitors and it also doesn't
support that (at least for me).
