HP Pavillion, Radeon HD 6770M

Ubuntu 13.10

If fglrx is installed from Software & Updates > Additional Drivers, upon
reboot I get a black screen with a cursor (cursor freezes if I try to
move it around) after getting past the login screen.

I did Alt+F1, purged fglrx (sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_*
fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*), rebooted (open source driver was working),
and installed fglrx from the console (sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-
pxpress) and voila, fglrx installed and working.

** Affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
