I would like to install AMD drivers for my Dell Latitude E6540, but I couldn't find any. Here are my system specifications. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23189499/

Thanks

You're running Ubuntu 16.04, so the essential drivers are already loaded on to your computer.

As of 16.04, AMD pulled fglrx from the repositories, making it unavailable for use. This move was made both because the X11 backend changed things that broke fglrx, and as a result of AMD's encouragement for people to move over to the open-source radeon and amdgpu drivers. These open-source drivers are automatically installed with Ubuntu, with the proper one automatically being chosen for your hardware.

If you actually need the full support that the fglrx package gives out (in most cases, this is untrue), you have no choice but to go back to Ubuntu 14.04 or another fglrx-supported version. Alternatively, you can just wait for the open-source drivers to just get better, which they inevitably will.
