(Ubuntu 15.04) After latest round of updates fglrx failed to compile dkms module on both of my laptops. 1 laptop has switchable graphics and the other does not. The laptop with switchable graphics works fine with the integrated intel chipset while the other laptop boots to a black screen. The error log is below.
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module fglrx.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'pci_ignore_hotplug'
scripts/Makefile.modpost:90: recipe for target '__modpost' failed
make[2]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
Makefile:1397: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-3.19.0-26-generic'
I've looked around on askubuntu.com and noticed allot of new Ubuntu users upset with broken Ubuntu desktops using FGLRX without any answers to whats going on. If someone comes up with an answer we could respond to some of these users questions.
Fixed thanks to Pilot6 and Vladimir
