I've just updated my ubuntu 15.10 to ubuntu 16.04 lts. I've got some problem with my decicated amd gpu(amd radeon r5 m335). I known that ubuntu 16 doesn't support amd proprietary drivers, but there are open-source alternatives that should work. I don't need graphical performance, i've got also an intel hd 530(and i was used to switch the amd gpu off and use only intel hd for a better battery life).
I decided to do the upgrade ubuntu 16, but it does not recognize the amd card! i was used to receive this boot message: radeon init error(-22). Since some days i don't the receive any message simply the system doen't see the amd card.
In ubuntu 15 i also received the radeon init message but it works! after some time i installed the proprietary driver(fglrx) and it works well.
In ubuntu 16 there's no way do see the amd card.
this is the output of "additional drivers"
and
this is the screenshoot of lspci
I don't known the solution! but i think that i could do two things:
1)install thye fglrx propetary driver
2)manually configure the amdgpu driver
thanks for the advices and sorry for my english

You can use AMDGPU-Pro Driver "Beta" for Ubuntu 16.04. From this link:
