Cant install proprietary drivers/fglrx

[andax]

I have been trying to install proprietary ati drivers from amd website but every time I reboot system it boots into black screen after which I have to purge them.

Second problem arises when I try to install fglrx from Ubuntu repos through terminal which doesnt allow me to install drivers without removing wine/playonlinux.Now I am stuck with open-source ones

A temporary workaround (untested by me) for this problem is available here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1129409/comments/44.

Marking this bug as a duplicate of #1129409 as there seems to be more progress and activity in that bug report.
