Everytime im installing ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. And this is after i newly installed the OS and did a full update on everything else. When i then install this driver and reboot my system, it boots on a normal way till the progress bar is at 100%. Then it turns black and it seems like im in a terminal for some reason. Im not use to those commands there nor can i remeber any. if there is someone out there to help a new linux user. then i pray for u ;)

So much so that my distro of choice, Arch Linux, has decided to stop packaging it in their official repos and hand it over to the community to maintain. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzEwMg : I recommend seeing if the open source ATI driver will suit your needs. : http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php?title=Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide
