Bug Description
I had been running X successfully with the fglrx driver on Hardy. When I install fglrx on Intrepid, I expected it to just work like on Hardy. Instead, when I boot the system, I get a black screen.
Even though, I can switch to the text console using Ctrl+Alt+F1.

Also note that while I expect X to bail out with an error whenever it can't display anything, it fails silenty. I can't even find a clue in the log file.
