I don't have odd artifacts; I meant that there is just a desktop
background, no other screen items visible at all. But that is when I try
to use the driver selection utility to revert to the Open Source driver,
not when I'm trying to use the AMD binary driver, which works fine.
I think th
Do you remember to reverse the whole process when going from fglrx ->
open source ?
I can now switch from radeon to fglrx, but then it seems to prevent the
open source radeon driver from loading when I switch back.

@Philip Gemmell
Not sure if the open source driver blacklist has made it into the fix

See previous comments #114 #119 and #120.
I didn't need to change nomodeset, but I did need to add "blacklist

It both works and doesn't work for me.
The kernel module is fine, the X Server loads and seems to open the device
correctly, but the screens stay blank, then turn off.
The attached tar file has dmesg output and the Xorg and gpu-manager log files.

@northar: The general view seems to be that open source drivers must
work, but not necessarily the closed source, except for LTS releases.
Personally I think the closed-source graphics card drivers are important
enough that they should be fixed before release; it seems that every
