Jamie - I want you to try the following steps to try and get to a default xorg.conf that a new user would normally end up with after installing Ubuntu and enabling the restrcited (fglrx) driver.
1. Log in using your normal configuration, and disable desktop effects completely (System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects -> None). 1. Do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to recreate the default (bare) X server configuration. Don't make any customisations to it yet. 3. Restart 4. GDM should load, and your X server will probably be running with either the VESA driver or open source ATI driver. At this stage, the resolution might also be low. 5. Log in 6. Enable the resrtricted fglrx driver (System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers). This should add the fglrx driver to your xorg.conf along with any of the other default options necessary to get the driver working. 7. Once this is done, reboot again. 8. Report the outcome. If the resolution is not correct, please re-attach the information I requested earlier. Also try enabling desktop effects.
