--- Code: ---after apt update
--- End code ---
do
--- Code: ---apt -t experimental install fglrx-driver libgl1-fglrx-glx fglrx-modules-dkms
--- End code ---
you need a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf with the following in:
--- Code: ---Section "Device"
Identifier "My GPU"
Driver "fglrx"

Dkms failes to build it for my custom kernel, while 14.12 succeeded there. I'm currently trying to find out what I'm missing in this kernel.
Thank you for your work!
