Comment 0 for bug 975931

After installing Ubuntu I can't boot into the OS at all unless I manage to get into recovery mode (which is very hard with no timeout on GRUB by default) and install FGLRX from there.
It happens on every version of Ubuntu that has the open source drivers for the AMD Radeon HD 6850 graphics card installed.
