4 years ago fglrx is the proprietary graphics driver for OLDER AMD/ATI graphic cards.
The development of fglrx has stopped. AMD continues to support the development of the open source radeon driver module and the newer AMDGPU driver, with AMDGPU-PRO as the proprietary closed source extension.
So, fglrx will not be updated for use with newer versions of X.org Xserver, as well as Wayland support won't be added.
- That said:
Are you sure your GPU and distro require and support fglrx?

This a request and issue, I keep getting this error,
modprobe: FATAL: Module fglrx not found in directory /lib/modules/5.2.0-kali2-amd64 Error! Fail to load fglrx kernel module! Maybe you can switch to root user to load kernel module directly
I can not find fglrx anywhere at least not anything that will work. I researched it and found out it was discontinued in 2015. Then re-released as Radeon Software Crimson Edition in version 15.11, after that it was changed to Adrenalin edition. Simple enough, no JTR wont accept anything other than fglrx it wont use the intel GPU because of the AMD GPU. I dug around inside the JTR files and found opencl it hasn't been updated since 2017. src/opencl/wpapsk_kernel.cl

Then is runs very slowly around 1000 per p/s, c/s and C/s If I remove the GPU or purge then reinstall and don't use opencl its around 6000 per p/s, c/s and C/s. In Windows it is about the same 6000 or there abouts. I'm reporting as a bug because it needs to be brought up to date. The opencl and that's as far as I looked is two years old I don't know if that matters 100% but fglrx is four years past end of life, (About to be five.) I don't know if anyone will agree with me since it is running correctly circa 2015 if the age of the opencl file doesn't pertain to the situation. If it isn't something that is going to be fixed might I suggest a statement saying JTR wont work with those cards. Had I known and I would have purchased a Nividia, which wouldn't matter anyway if support for Cuda is really being terminated. I did look before I bought it from what I found it said JTR worked with AMD. If I might sway you as to an update. I was reading on google a few days ago that AMD CPUs are preferred by 60% of Europeans. Usually as goes the Europeans so goes the rest of the world. Although the TechSpot news piece says CPU I would imagine they may have the same problems as the GPU.
