It both works and doesn't work for me.

The kernel module is fine, the X Server loads and seems to open the device 
correctly, but the screens stay blank, then turn off.
The attached tar file has dmesg output and the Xorg and gpu-manager log files. 
The only thing I can see is the gpu-manager log complains that /dev/dri is 
absent.

I can force the screens to stay on ( but still blank ) by running
amdconfig --initilal. The main change then is that ukiOpenDevice returns
9 rather than 11 ( can't find any documentation for this function -
assume it is proprietary ).

To add more strangeness, if I boot into recovery mode, and run 'startx'
as the root user, I get an empty X desktop on display :1 that appears to
be the Unity desktop without any menus/launchers, and no window manager.
But I can run an X terminal and run gedit, eclipse, and firefox, from
which I am writing this comment. However, the VTs that should be
provided by fglrx do not work.

This is with a new 15.10 installation ( keeping personal files ), not an
upgrade, using an R9 290. It clearly works as an X server, but
configuration or permissions in the installation must be askew.
