Public bug reported: I didn't know what was the fglrx package, so when I bought my new video card, I first installed Catalyst 10.8 with Lucid Linx and kernel 2.6.32.23 ... it worked but was a bit buggy (bad 2D display) When the catalyst 10.9 was out, I installed it. It worked too and it fixed the bugs. Then I did a kernel upgrade at 2.6.32-24. Catalyst 10.9 was still working. Later I noticed that the Catalyst control panel was still displaying "Catalyst 10.8". I then tried to reinstall it to see if it fixed this. I was unable to do it due to the bug #642518. Then I applied the patch given by Luc Bruninx (post #14) and rebuild the package. There was no build errors and the patched package was successfully installed but the xserver didn't start anymore. (my own posts #19 to 22)
In the boot process, the framebuffer display is ok (with the ubuntu banner and the moving 5 dots), but when it shift to the xserver it hangs. Neither any CtrAltFx key or CtrlAltBackspace key are working. The only way is to electricaly stop the box. I tried many things and in particular, to remove/purge all old fglrx prevously installed following the doc at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver. I finally uninstall all and reinstalled the official new package with the new patch 2:8.723.1-0Ubuntu5. I still have the same trouble. So something has probably been removed, or modified when I reinstalled the package (via synaptic).
