@Montblanc: I think that's what happened to me. I didn't check the debugging output so I wasn't aware of any segmentation fault but I know that I was booting by default into a black screen, and I had to but into one of the back-up kernels that grub keeps handy and run ppa-purge.

I suggest the addition of an fglrx-legacy package to install the AMD legacy drivers for users with older cards or patch the current code base for use with these cards.
