Comment 2 for bug 1516888

looks like purge flgrx reinstall suggest in another flgrx bug thread did the trick. screen finally looks and behaves normally. HAPPY DANCES

however sound is still completely gone. that's what sent me in the first place to try the open source driver that crashed everything .. did search through ask ubuntu and found people with different machines all having similar problems with system wide sound issue and no solutions so far. my sound works fine in my windows partition so it's not a hardware thing. is sound a fglrx thing? is this yet a different bug? should i report it as a bug?

thanks everyone for your help and all the ubuntu gods for software creation and sorting bugs and such.
