Fglrx graphics driver stops boot

[Josh de Kock]

I found this bug on Amd vision A8 chip/graphics card (I don't know if its a graphics card or processor) , running ubuntu 12.04 amd64.
I had to reboot for the driver to start, i expected it to boot but it did not.
After about 30 min of waiting i decided it didnt work.
I fixed it by uninstalling it while running ubuntu from the disc using this guide: http://askubuntu.com/a/166010

Hope this can be fixed as it is a recommended driver for Steam.
