Pubudu Kodikara, thank you for noting which upstream drivers you tested already. Regarding your comments https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661/comments/5 :
>"Today I did a clean install and then installed "linux-source" and "linux-headers-generic" before installing "fglrx-updates" (according to a recommendation made by an ubuntu forum user (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12305917&postcount=11)). It also gave the same results. The app port data were collected after this. But today I didn't got the warning "update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken""

Could you please post the new install log that does not have the warning?

As well, as a potential WORKAROUND, does any of previous upstream drivers work for you from http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/previous/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx ?
