Title:
  Saucy 13.10 fglrx only works when installed from console

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
