Title:
X doesn't load after fglrx install
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
It may be a duplicate but I haven't found anything similar. I am
reporting here since this is an ubuntu package problem although I have
tried the official stable and beta releases provided by AMD as well.
I installed fglrx and then reboot it but the system hangs.
I also tried using the command aticonfig --initial -f but again no
effect.
I entered as root and used startx and here I provide the error log. It
seems that there is a problem with reading the VBIOS.
