  Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
  
  Hi,
  
  I'm having significant difficulty getting my Radeon 4870 with the
  proprietary ATI driver.  After enabling the restricted driver, when X
  started, my LCD panels reported "Frequency out of range".  I was,
  however able to use the virtual terminals.  Attempting to revert to
  "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe" or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-
  xorg" resulted in graphical corruption, the inability to switch to a
  virtual terminal, and the inability to use ctrl-alt-del to reset the
  system.  I had to reboot with alt+sysreq+reisub.
  
  I was able to recover by removing xorg-driver-fglrx with aptitude and
  reverting xorg.conf to the failsafe.
