How to install fglrx graphics driver from command line?

[zcacogp]

Chaps,

Cutting a long story short (my machine won't allow me to login without the proprietary fglrx driver installed), how do you install the fglrx driver in Natty, from the console?

The following commands have been suggested (many thanks to coffeecat on here for his help), but haven't worked:

apt-get update
apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks, in advance, for any help anyone can offer. (It will hopefully save me from having to re-install, which seems to be about my only other option.)

OK, coming back to this one as the problem is now solved ...

I discovered that if you choose "recovery mode" at GRUB, one of the options is to start in low-graphics mode. This allows you into the system, and from there you can install the graphics driver normally.

Hope this is helpful to someone else, sometime in the future ... !
