Comment 15 for bug 181343

Sorry, the need to use a different kernel was solely to get the "recovery mode" (or whatever it's called, I forget) to work, so that I could be presented with a console and reinstall fglrx. (In other words, it's another, different, problem that cropped up while I attempted to understand this one better.) I'm back to using the current kernel. I haven't tried to see if booting into an older kernel fixes the blank screen problem, but I suspect that it's an X/driver issue.
