Bug Description

After installation of fglrx-installer via jockey, I rebooted. The login screen displayed properly, but on logging in the screen turned black. I find that moving the mouse pointer or using the keyboard causes the black to "move aside" temporarily.

The same here.
One more thing, it says that it didn't found any other kernel module of fglrx installed while updating fglrx with same kernel.

There is something that is really not working there.
