Hi Peter,

We regret that we never managed to fulfil your request and never found time to reply to it. 
According to https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst15-9LINReleaseNotes.aspx Catalyst 15.9 only works for Linux kernel 2.6 up to 3.19, so not in 4.xx

Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues.

Closing as OLD
