Comment 54 for bug 284408

I just attempted the install with the "proposed" version 8.11 and the
issue persists on mine as well.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350
[Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]

aticonfig --list-adapters reports that there are no adapters found
after the reboot.

The following is how I'm rolling back to the old driver:
$ sudo apt-get autoremove xorg-driver-fglrx
$ /etc/init.d/gdm restart

No need for a reboot as the kernel doesn't load the driver at
boot-time. Works like a charm.
