Update ... I installed ATI Catalyst 9-10(8.661) on a fresh install of
Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Release Candidate. The driver installed well but
during the driver installation a xorg.conf has been created by the ATI
Catalyst installer(because there was no xorg.conf file present in
"/etc/X11" folder) and when i reboot i had no graphic so i reboot again
and choose the recovery mode. I had to delete the xorg.conf file and
create a new one again and configuring it with "aticonfig --initial -f"
then reboot again to have it work correctly. When i finaly got in the
desktop i had to reconfigure the screen resolution using "sudo
amdcccle".

Note if i just reboot after that everything stays ok but if i shotdown
my computer and restart it instead of just doing a reboot the problem
shows up again and i have to reboot in recovery mode to do the same
process.

So to be short, the problem is the same i had with Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 4
with the previous driver of ATI Catalyst. My guess is Kubuntu 9.10 does
not use xorg.conf the same way the previous versions of Kubuntu were
using it. The problem is the ATI driver NEEDS this file to be installed
and configured correctly. However, the xorg.conf file seems to become
corrupted or obselete after shotdown but seems to keep its integrity
after a reboot.

P.S. : The recovery mode of kernel 2.6.31-14 is buggy, sometimes it's
unusable because it's showing strange rendomly placed messages when i
using the arrows to move between the options. I'll check if there is a
bug report for that.
