Comment 3 for bug 1075035

I tried the workaround, but ran into some problems:
 - in step 5, the command apt-get -y reinstall was not recognised. The "reinstall" seems to be the wrong code. I couldn't recall what the correct command was, so I did this step via synaptic.
 - step 6 failed because there was no package "fglrx-installer". The repository I added in Step 2 didn't have this package, but it did have plain ol' "fglrx", so I tried installing that instead.
 - In the final step (7), the command aticonfig --initial returned
        aticonfig: No supported modules present

Rebooting resulted in the same mess as before, so I purged fglrx again, and rebooted with the open source drivers.

Thanks for the help.
