The AMD fglrx driver does not work in 15.10 yet though it looks as if a solution can be had by using the proposed repos, but be warned that installing all the packages from proposed is asking for trouble.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...r/+bug/1493888 for the bug and solution, and perhaps try it by enabling proposed in software-sources, refreshing repos, installing just the fglrx driver plus any dependencies, then disabling proposed again.

No promises, but it is what I would try.
If it does not work and you can not get a GUI using the AMD card, you can uninstall fglrx and will be back where you started.

Hello!

As I said before, based on the model of your AMD GPU it is likely that yours is a muxed system. If that is the case, you will not be able to use the AMD driver and switch between the Intel and AMD GPUs.

Since your BIOS gives you no choice to disable the Intel card (again, also likely because your graphics are muxed through the Intel GPU and disabling it would keep your graphics from working at all), the only likely option you have is to uninstall the fglrx driver and install vga_switcheroo.

This will not allow the use of the fglrx driver, so when you switch to the AMD GPU you would be running the open source Radeon driver.

If you would provide the manufacturer and model number of your machine, we might be able to do some research to find out if it is or is not a muxed system.
