Bug Description
I have a HP Elitebook 8530w with the following graphics adaptor:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 3604
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Memory at d8300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
I/O ports at 7000 [size=256]
Expansion ROM at d8320000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci
If I go to Hardware Devices in the Gnome menu and activate the ATI driver. The system is no longer able to present the Gnome login page (GDM) and instead I get a black/blank screen. I can not do anything but power off the machine. I cannot go to another console by presseing Ctrl+Alt+F2. Nothing works.
I am currently running Ubuntu 9.04, but I had the exact same problem in 8.10. Both AMD64. I am real tired of the poor graphics and poor 2D performance, can you help me?

I Think it is the xorg-driver-fglrx package.
