  Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
  
  OS: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) ~ Beta 1 (64-bit)
  
  After messing around with ATI graphics drivers all day, I'm now stuck in
  this situation:
  
  Installing fglrx via the restricted hardware manager leaves my system
  unbootable. The Xorg.0.log reveals the following:
  
  (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.66.10
  (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Release Identifier: 8.66.1                               
  (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Sep  3 2009 21:35:39
  (EE) Unable to initialize PCS database
  (EE)   Missing PCS defaults file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default
  (EE) No devices detected.
  
  Manually removing fglrx packages via the recovery console leaves the
  system even more unbootable:
  
  (II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
  (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx
  (II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"
  (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
  (EE) No drivers available.
  
  Manually removing xorg.conf makes the system bootable again (probably
  using the ati driver).
  
  I have the following files on my system that might be relevant:
  /etc/ati/amdpcsdb
  /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default.dpkg-bak
  
  ubuntu-bug has attached all kinds of stuff for me. Let me know if you
  need anything else.
