Bug Description

the upgrade using the command:

update-manager -d

fails to boot to the gdm login window after upgrade.

I tried reinstalling the fglrx drivers which caused this issue and it didn't work. the only fix was to reconfigure the package, xserver-xorg.

I can confirm the problem. Seems that the fglrx driver is not working with current version of the X server:

The Open Source driver allows to use ATI graphics in my ThinkPad W500, but unfortunately it has no power management enabled and 3D does not work. Using the Open Source driver, the laptop consumes about 38W, while it worked under Intrepid with about 15W using the Closed Source driver.
