Christopher, I don't know what happens if I uninstall fglrx in 15.10 because I haven't tried (and I am reluctant to do so, since it's working properly now), and I don't understand why it's even relevant to the problem I'm reporting. Perhaps that is why I was confused by your question. It's not me who is coming out of left field with this. rather it is you who are asking something that has nothing to do with the bug I'm reporting and not giving me a good reason. Why should I uninstall fglrx in 15.10?
What I can tell you without doing something that could potentially break my 15.10 system, after days of setting it up the way I want it, is that before I installed the fglrx drivers in it, the machine was on low graphics and installing fglrx fixed that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606071 Title: [HP ProBook 455 G3] Unable to boot Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When using Ubuntu 16.04 I get a black screen immediately when booting up.
