Brian, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. To clarify, are you able to boot with 15.10 if you uninstall fglrx?
** Description changed: - This bug affects me on Ubuntu 16.04, but not on 15.10 where the fglrx - drivers are still available. I have the graphics card A10-8700P APU - "Carrizo" on my HP ProBook 455 G3 laptop. I get a black screen - immediately unless I set the kernel parameter nomodeset and boot into - low graphics. + When using Ubuntu 16.04 I get a black screen immediately when booting up. I tried using kernel parameter amdgpu.runpm=0 Ubuntu boots up into the live Ubuntu with the correct resolution but after 5 minutes or so, I got the black screen again. This doesn't happen with 15.10 where the fglrx drivers are still available. My hardware: + 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Carrizo [1002:9874] (rev c5) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:80ef] - I found a recommendation at - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117591 Comment #7, to append - "amdgpu.runpm=0" to the kernel command line in Grub setparams. I did try - that with the Ubuntu 16.04 LiveUSB. The result was that it booted into - the live Ubuntu with the correct resolution but after 5 minutes or so, I - got the black screen again. - - I wish AMD or Canonical or whoever is responsible for the decision to - make fglrx unavailable in 16.04 would reconsider and provide for a - smoother transition by allowing users with graphics cards that are still - unsupported by amdgpu to "opt-in" to fglrx until AMD works out the all - the kinks. It's as if they just don't care about end users whatsoever. - This is the behavior one would expect of Microsoft, not Ubuntu.
