I had a problem with my display exactly like this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/368877) so I tried installing envy and used it to install fglrx as the driver. Now when I reboot, I get all kinds of weird colours on the screen (it looks broken) and it's unusable. There's no gdm or anything. I tried using CTRL ALT F1 to get a terminal and it didnt work. I basically pressed every key and nothing happened. During the boot process before it tries to load gdm there's a chance to type in the terminal. I can type my username and part of my password then it tries to load the gdm and Im SOL. I want to get rid of fglrx because I have found some alternatives to try and now I cant.
Edit: I was able to boot into recovery mode and I replaced the xorg.conf with my backed up version and it gave me a black screen so I regenerated it and now I just get a black screen still.
