Public bug reported:
Having installed the xorg-driver-fglrx package but not using the fglrx driver
makes the X server to die
X will appear as X <defunc> and the screen will be filled with garbage (no
terminal, no ctrl+alt+sup, just random pixels)
The solution as found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1148792 is
to uninstall the packages as symbols crash in libdri.
It took me quite a some time to find this out and try several solutions to
related problems.
So I think this is a bug as a typical user will just hear about fglrx
improves framerate, install it and see his Linux not booting anymore and
no idea why.
