[earthforce_1 <earthforce_1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Tried with Samsung Syncmaster 2443 and 305T - in both cases, enabling fglx video acceleration results in a black screen with no video.  I tried aticonfig --initial -f from a grub rescue login, the result was exactly the same.  The only way I was able to restore my desktop was to completely remove the fglrx drivers via the command:
sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx

There was no mouse pointer evident, <CTL><ALT><BS> didn't seem to work,
nor did the magic SYSREQ REIUB sequence.
