Binary package hint: xorg

Ubuntu 9.04

1. I activated ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver from within Harware Drivers.
2. I restarted PC.
3. I tried to open Display Preferences (known simply as 'Display' from the Administration menu)
4. CPU usage shoots up to 100% on one of my two cores. Other core % is low. Cores alternate with one always near 100% and the other hardly being used. Display Properties is white with a green/blue streak across it.

My GPU is one ATI Radeon HD3870. Photograph of screen attached.
