I've followed Steffen's instructions, including installing normal fglrx,
then downloading the ATI driver from
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx,
purching fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle then installing the new drivers. After
a reboot I come to blank screen. I can boot recovery just fine, but even
then im getting mediocre performance. glxgears is around 2500fps in
gnome-shell but is at about 10000fps in gnome-classic. Gnome-shell is
generally choppier too. Window transitions and moving windows is not
smooth.

Is there a solution to the blank screen? Is my performance normal for
the current state of drivers?
