Chris
For completeness, I can confirm what Chris has said (i.e. the fglrx
drivers do not solve the problem). My testing shows almost the same
situation as Chris has kindly noted. By way of a summary:
3.15rc5 kernel with fglrx drivers - X won't start
3.13 kernel with fglrx drivers on AC power - exactly the same bug as my
original report (screen alternates between full brightness and black)
3.13 kernel with fglrx drivers on battery power - almost the same problem
except screen alternates between full brightness and what looks like around 5%
brightness.
In summary the fglrx drivers do not appear to provide a work around.
I hope that helps
