Public bug reported: Tried with Samsung Syncmaster 2443 and 305T - in both cases, enabling fglx video acceleration results in a black screen with no video. I tried aticonfig --initial -f from a grub rescue login, the result was exactly the same. The only way I was able to restore my desktop was to completely remove the fglrx drivers via the command: sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx
There was no mouse pointer evident, <CTL><ALT><BS> didn't seem to work, nor did the magic SYSREQ REIUB sequence.
