fglrx 8.32.5 not working after upgrade
First of all sorry for my bad English. I hope you will understand me.
The fglrx driver version 8.31.5 worked fine until I upgraded to 8.32.5.
The xserver starts but the screen is only black flickering. There are no error messages in the Xorg log. The computer doesn`t freeze, I am able to log in on virtuel console. My graphic card is a Radeon 9600 Pro.
Does anyone know a solution for it?
Thank you!

... so I think that the new driver doesn't work with my Gigabyte Radeon9600Pro!

Works fine here with my 9600 pro. Try reinstalling it.

Re: fglrx 8.32.5 not working after upgrade
I'm using an Asus 9600 myself, and it seems to work fine here. What's the output of dmesg | grep fglrx?

Re: fglrx 8.32.5 not working after upgrade
I reinstalled the driver but sill not working.
dmesg:
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 929 MBytes.
[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.32.5 [Dec 12 2006] on minor 0
I think it looks fine. On debian I made a fresh install and get the same problem.
Maybe it only doesn`t work on Gigabyte cards?

Re: fglrx 8.32.5 not working after upgrade
geez, the last two fglrx updates seem to come with their share of problems that only affect some users, similar to this. *shakes fist at ATI* Come on, guys! Give us some quality! 
tom, yeah, that output looks fine. I don't know what's going on here, and can't seem to find any solution on google.
