I tried to install an AMD driver on my computer (Ubuntu 16.04) because Ubuntu is still running on the integrated GPU.

Installation failed.
Here is fglrx-install.log: 

NOTE: If your system has logged the missing packages required for installation, install them in the order as per the log file to resolve package-dependency issues.
Supported adapter detected.
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
Uninstalling any previously installed drivers.

    Fglrx is not supported in 16.04: http://askubuntu.com/questions/815591/ubuntu-14-04-5-16-04-16-10-and-amd-graphics. – mikewhatever Apr 01 '17 at 08:29

On Intel AMD hybrid graphics you must use prime like this for discrete GPU use

DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears
