The apport hook issue was fixed; I'll trim down the bug report to focus
on the fglrx specific issue.

** Description changed:

  Several things happened when I tried to access apport.  Here is my console log.
- john@john-testbedGA-MA78LM-S2H:~$ man apport
- No manual entry for apport
- john@john-testbedGA-MA78LM-S2H:~$ ubuntu-bug fglrx

  (Yes, I do have a script for this)
  I am running on "low graphics mode".  The above is not too surprising for a beta, but back to fglrx.
  
  Earlier I reported a bug on this item, then I got an update and this is
  what happened.
  
  1. Something went wrong with my hard drive and the partition table seems
  to be scrambled, however I have a off-line backup system and was able to
  download the beta 1 disk.
  
  2.  After saving as much as I could of my hard disk content, I built a new boot sector, and repartitioned the disk, then installed
  the 11.4 beta1 disk.  It sort of failed, but I got up enough to run dpkg from the boot, and this seemed to clear up the problem.  I was able to boot, and it gave me a look at Unity.  Not sure I like it, but time will tell.
  3.  Following the usual procedure for drivers, I activated fglrx, which then wanted a boot, so I did.
  4.  On come up, the system hangs, not listening to either keyboard or mouse (much).  I was forced to reboot using SysRq emergency orderly shutdown.
  5.  I was able to reboot on Low Grapphics (sans fglrx)
  
  When the fglrx mess first started, characterized by large black areas, I
  was able to get a screen shot.  I will add the URL for this after I get
  back to 10.10 and can place the image on my web pages.  This will be
  later this afternoon, I suppose, since once this is filed, I am
  switching back to my production system.
  
  I hope this helps in various areas, but I really wish AMD would get on
  with it.
  
  Oh, and just in case you wanted the installer facts, here they are:

  Hmm, that doesn't seem to be present.
  
  And yes my script is OK

  Good luck on this, the new release is looking interesting.
