Public bug reported: It may be a duplicate but I haven't found anything similar. I am reporting here since this is an ubuntu package problem although I have tried the official stable and beta releases provided by AMD as well.
I installed fglrx and then reboot it but the system hangs. I also tried using the command aticonfig --initial -f but again no effect. I entered as root and used startx and here I provide the error log. It seems that there is a problem with reading the VBIOS.
