Luca, you may catch some interest in an article from Softpedia (Mar 10, 2016):
http://news.softpedia.com/news/canonical-recommends-open-source-amdgpu- and-radeon-drivers-for-ubuntu-16-04-lts-501556.shtml So, to correct me, the open-source-"driver" for your graphics (R9) is xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu . It's installed by default. Upon purge of fglrx, it should get selected as by default for ur graphics. To follow this see log-file: /var/log/gpu-manager-log. As u can see [1] the provided version for Wily is rather old. You could test the newer version by incorporating the OIBAF-ppa into your Wily- Installation, since it doesn't have LTS-Enablement-Stack. I have this since a while in use in Wily with the most current mainline Kernel and tested also if ppa-purge works. It does. Mentioning this, because u should do so before an upgrade to 16.04. Just for the completeness: Usage of PPA can lead to unexspected results and can eventually cause instabilities of a system.
