Ubuntu Is Deprecating fglrx (Catalyst) In 16.04 LTS
Canonical will not be supporting the fglrx/Catalyst Linux driver in their archive beginning with Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus.
2-2.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#fglrx
The fglrx driver is now deprecated in 16.04, and we recommend its open source alternatives (radeon and amdgpu). AMD put a lot of work into the drivers, and we backported kernel code from Linux 4.5 to provide a better experience.
2-2-1. 如果是 升級到 Ubuntu 16.04
When upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 from a previous release,
both the fglrx driver and the xorg.conf will be removed, so that the system is set to use either the amdgpu driver or the radeon driver (depending on the available hardware).
2-3. 套件 fglrx 已從 Ubuntu 16.04 所有的套件庫 移除

2-3-1. 移除部份理由 見
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n ... untu-16.04
AMD doesn't yet have a Catalyst / Radeon Software driver release that's compatible with the new video ABI. It's also looking like they may never release a supported driver either but defer to using the xf86-video-amdgpu DDX in conjunction with their upcoming new driver architecture that makes use of the Radeon DRM. This appears to be part of the reason why Catalyst/fglrx is now deprecated in Ubuntu 16.04.
