Bug Description

Hi.
After installing fglrx 8.593 from AMD download page or 8.600 from repositories and rebooting drivers crash x.org server. System is unable to run, until I remove fglrx by the recovery mode. I tried few times to launch system with no success, but one time it didn't crashed at all and I could save crash logs, which are attached. What's the problem?
Graphic card: Radeon X1950 RV570; system: Ubuntu 9.04; Linux kernel: 2.6.28-11-generic.

I've posted a new version of the -fglrx driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get fglrx 8.620 here:

If you need to use the legacy driver (like I do) try changing grub's vga mode to 0xf06 (instructions in my bug report).

By the way, anyone handy with grub have any idea what 0xf06 means? I'm just curious.
