Tried the ati 6.7.196 and it's ceratinly different from before. I never get the completely hanging black screen anymore. Of my 4 or 5 attempts to boot, 1 time it worked.
The 4 or so failure times I got a partial screen usually with the revolving circular cursor spinning then stopping and then console freeze.
The 1 time it worked glxgears gave around 500 FPS.
