Hey guys,
I know my machine isn't screwed but I need some help. I was a Ubuntu user for a while then I had to return my machine to work and I reverted to OSX. I've since acquired a really nice Desktop with the full shebang and a really nice graphics card - Plus i've got a 5TB Fiber Channel array for all my goodies :)
Now I've installed Ubuntu and the open source drivers worked ok for a couple of days then they died, text started to jumble and windows would just screw up, like scribble everywhere. I've tried installing the proprietary drivers (again) following this guide:
http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-oneiric-problems-with-ati.html
Which described the errors I was having and now I can't boot, I'm just being greeted with a black screen. I've tried pressing esc at grub to boot into recovery mode with no luck. What can I do? HELPPPPPP
