Thread: ATI 4350 + Karmic + 64 bit + FGLRX = Blank screen and high load

i can't find helpful on existing posts. starting wonder if issue mine.

problem title describes. throw ati hd 4350 64-bit box. installed karmic , added fglrx drivers. when reboot, upon loading gdm screen goes black. further, cannot break out terminal (ctrl+alt+f2), blank. once loading fglrx drivers computer unusable. have ssh in there.

i've noticed repeatedly when fglrx driver loads system load high, la's being 4.x vs usual 0.8 - 1.2

deleting xorg.conf file prevents fglrx drivers loading , system start up. can x. of course compositing not work. la's normal.

have followed previous posts involving compiling drivers scratch/building distro specific package. tried few different methods no help. using 'hardware drivers' icon in system show drive activate. when try failed install. tried open source driver radeonhd instead of fglrx. produces white screen multi colour artifacts.

wonder if because 64bit system. have same card in 2 other computers, both running karmic. 32bit, work excellently.

good.

i have same problem, 5770. strange things are:
* card works identical setup (swapped hdds) in different machine (amd780g chipset)
* card works on same (the 1 doesn't run under karmic) machine under win7 using catalyst drivers

maybe related platform? machine fsc5615, athlon 64 3500+, nvidia mcp51 chipset.

clues?
