Public bug reported: The configuration of the fglrx package fails reproducibly on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 (with the latest updates applied), which results in a system that fails to boot the graphical environment, requiring a fresh installation because I don't know how to fix the system's state. The graphics card in question is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450.
The output of the "apt-get install" command looks as follows. It has been taken from [1], which is a description of the very same bug. Unfortunately, I didn't make a copy of the output as seen on my machine. Loading new fglrx-8.723.1 DKMS files... First Installation: checking all kernels...
