[Bug 181343] Re: [hardy] logout ends in blank screen

I wondered whether it was a problem with the fglrx driver. So, I went to
the "Hardware Drivers Manager" and disabled fglrx. It removed the
package, then briefly said something scary like "disabling libc6" (but
it was so brief I'm not sure I saw it properly). When I tried rebooting,
the machine never came all the way up. I then rebooted and tried to
enter a console mode ("recovery mode"?) and it didn't work with the
current kernel (hung on something like "waiting for root filesystem").
Fortunately, an older kernel (2.6.20-15) worked for me. From the
console, I reinstalled the xorg-drivers-fglrx module and rebooted. X
came back up; now I'm back to where I started, presumably.
