  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When I installed "fglrx-updates" driver, it back fired on me as in not
  able to see the screen when i booted up the computer. It showed Ubuntu
  booting screen a lot bigger than normal and after that it lost
  connection with the screen and was not running monitor  and could not
  do any thing... But when I purged fglrx-updates it seemed to go back
  to normal.

  
  Ubuntu: 14.04
  Kernel: 3.12.0-7
  Graphic chip set: AMD/ATI:  Wrestler [Radeon 6310] 1 chip

  This has actually worked before. I'm not 100% sure what it maybe but I
  surely have an idea of the cause of the problem. I will put another
  comment below of saying what it maybe when I know for sure.
