Upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10 and my system won't boot to the GUI - it just hangs on a black screen and I can't even get a command line terminal.
I either have to :
1) boot into recovery and then do continue with normal boot
2) Edit grub and add nomodeset to the options
When I do either of these then things are OK but the brightness up and down Function buttons show the brightness graphic and move the slider but don't actually change the brightness.
Card is:

I'm running a 64 bit system and using the X.Org driver - and am unable to switch to proprietary drivers as it just seems to switch back - this seems to be down to a conflict betwee fglrx and Wine in the 14.10 repository.
