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 worse than Nvidia (as recognized by many people in the know), but if the package exists in the Ubuntu repository it should work without rendering the virtual consoles useless, and this issue shouldn't slip all the way from 14.04 to 15.10. That >removing fglrx drivers is some sort of workaround, but presumably people that did install fglrx in the first place >want fglrx for some reason is the appropriate line of reasoning: the official package exists and should be installable without breaking anything major such as the virtual consoles. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470862 Title: When using fglrx module, the virtual consoles are blank and useless To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1470862/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
