Okay since you basically confirmed fglrx (fglrx is the for AMD's proprietary drivers) in your system you can remove them and reset to the open gfx drivers which may fix your black screen issue.
enter root and type in these commands to remove fglrx.
Code:
apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
rm -rf /etc/ati
edit: fixed formatting
