Brian, because you don't understand why I'm asking a question, doesn't make the question less relevant. The driver you are having the problem with is the open source driver. If one isn't using fglrx, then one is also using an open source driver (although a different version).
Despite this, to further clarify, when you say in 15.10 when you didn't have fglrx installed it was in low graphics mode, did you have to use any WORKAROUNDs or does it boot up that way by default? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606071 Title: [HP ProBook 455 G3] Unable to boot Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When using Ubuntu 16.04 I get a black screen immediately when booting up.
