I had nearly the same problem with a fresh installation of Intrepid and
fglrx from the repositories and with the current version available at
the amd/ati site. My grafic card is a HD3450.

The driver did work immediately after installation by only restarting
gdm but did hang after reboot. I didn't much typing so i didn't see any
kernel panics. I only tried to get into another console and to kill X
which doesn't work and did a hard reset to reboot the machine into
rescue mode. I finally managed to get fglrx back into life without
reinstalling by overwriting the file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb with
/etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default. I traced back my steps after installing the
driver and what i did just before the final reboot and found that
aticccle caused the problem which i used to position and resize the
visible screen image. I was able to reproduce the failure by using
aticccle the named way but changing the TV output (just for testing, a
TV is connected) from the default setting to PAL-B didn't cause a
problem.

May be this information fits to this problem (I'm not quite shure) and
is of any use.
