I have a problem with fglrx drivers since Catalyst 9.9.
After installation and reboot I get only black screen when X tries to start and keyboard doesn't work however when I push power button then the system shuts down properly after a while.
I have noticed this for the first time on Hardy after installing Catalyst 9.9 and since then I have the same problem on Karmic and Catalyst 9.10/9.11 as well.
