Public bug reported: I installed the catalyst 12.9 drivers, and everything seemed to work fine with doing a download from amd's site, doing a dpkg install of the three .deb files that were created.
After a reboot, the initial login screen seems right I then logged in, and got nothing but a blank screen, I tried removing the new etc/X11/xorg.conf that was created and put the original back, and that didn't seem to do anything. I then installed 12.8 catalyst drivers over the top, and it still doesn't work, so I am trying to figure it out.
