Does anyone know how frequently does the fglrx-updates branch receive updates?
Where/how can I track it?
I'm not sure how I should proceed if I want to stay always up do date with the
latest graphics drivers - should I install from AMD's site and manually update,
or is it safer via updater with the fglrx-updates package.
Even after following instructions on AMD's website to install their latest
catalyst for my R4 + R5 M230 setup it fails, the driver isn't recognized
properly and it actually - after driver installation - shows different hardware
than what I have, for instance:
with Xorg (default) it shows I have an R4/R5 M230 graphics card, which is
correct,
after installing the latest catalyst it shows Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI]

(unloaded: fbdev,vesa,radeon) Resolution: [email protected], GLX Renderer: AMD
Radeon R4 Graphics GLX Version: 4.4.13374 - CPC 15.201.1151 - which is not what
I have.
My computer has an AMD A6-6310 APU with R4 and R5 M230, that's what it should
show. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, since I follow the steps
exactly.
All this is on Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.3, since I have problematic hardware and
cannot use 15.04 due to the [Xorg bug](https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1443456)
that caused my session crash with Libreoffice and proprietary video driver
installation wasn't even possible. A fix isn't, and probably won't be released
for 15.04.
