(this bug should probably be reassigned to fglrx-driver)

Does that conbination even build the kernel module?
Old drivers ususally don't work on newer kernels ...

The wheezy backport just got updated to 15.9 to follow the update in
jessie, maybe that helps.

You may get a file conflict with xvba-va-driver, it's safe to deinstall
that package (that functionality now comes with fglrx-driver).

Well, actually, I just figured it out that it was not successfully
built. linux-headers-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 packages was missing.

Now after installing headers and reinstalling fglrx-modules-dkms I
have X working, BUT with strange flickering artifacts when enabling
multiple monitor support on KDE:

I did aticonfig --initial=dual-head to generate new xorg.conf

Works OK with 3.2 kernel, or with 3.16 but only without external monitor.
