[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#808278: fglrx-driver: X fails to load, tty console repeatedly flashes

[Andreas Beckmann]

Control: unmerge -1
Control: tag -1 moreinfo

I don't see how this is related to the kernel null ptr dereference in
Linux 4.3, thus unmerging.

This report from a system without the Debian fglrx packages installed is
not really helpful, since it misses all the logfiles and other
information that would otherwise be collected by piuparts.
