Try changing your AGP aperture size in your BIOS. When I set the AGP aperture size to be the same as the amount of video ram on my card I could boot. I found this solution mentioned on some underground linux forum - not ubuntu related - but I tried it and it seems to work. -- fglrx - gutsy - ati:

Confirm that this problem still exists with Hardy. I just did a clean install on the same system mentioned previously. The system hangs up with a black scree after booting when using the proprietary fglrx drivers. I have to hit the reset button to reboot. The only way to get the system into a usabl
