Public bug reported: Following installation of the fglrx driver on my Toshiba A200 notebook, the computer hangs during reboot - after Grub has timed out and started the defaults OS (kbuntu 9.10). It doesn't get as far as the login screen. The normal boot process appears for a few seconds, then the screen goes blank. [Ctrl] [Alt] [F1] doesn't show a console screen.
Recovery back to the standard Ubuntu device driver is simple - am able to boot to command line login, and replace the xorg.conf that was created by fglrx with a standard version of xorg.conf saved after initial install of 9.10. The notebook works using the standard Ubuntu video driver, but is limited to useless low resolutions (1024x768 maximum).
