Public bug reported: Release: Lucid Lynx Package: fglrx-amdcccle 2:8.721-0ubuntu5 Expected behavior: Installation expected to drive video properly Actual behavior: After installation, system allowed me to select user and enter password. Immediately thereafter, however, the screen went blank. It was not simply a "blank screen" Xserver issue. The monitors actually lost signal and stopped. Remediation: Reboot, drop to root with networking, remove fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle, reboot.
Unfortunately, I had not previously changed the logging flag in bootlogd to "yes" to capture the boot messages, so I can't be of help there. I will see what other logging I can dig up to help with the process of debugging. Killing an X session is one thing. Killing output from the card to the monitors is probably not good on the hardware.
