Public bug reported:

Release:  Lucid Lynx
Package:  fglrx-amdcccle 2:8.721-0ubuntu5
Expected behavior:  Installation expected to drive video properly
Actual behavior:  After installation, system allowed me to select user and enter password.  Immediately thereafter, however, the screen went blank.  It was not simply a "blank screen" Xserver issue.  The monitors actually lost signal and stopped.
Remediation:  Reboot, drop to root with networking, remove fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle, reboot.

Unfortunately, I had not previously changed the logging flag in bootlogd
to "yes" to capture the boot messages, so I can't be of help there.

I will see what other logging I can dig up to help with the process of
debugging.

Killing an X session is one thing.  Killing output from the card to the
monitors is probably not good on the hardware.
