Fix for black screen on reboot?

Ok, after installing with the script and copying the amdpcsdb.default over top of amdpcsdb it appears to be booting to the desktop alright. Is there a way to check which driver I am using? I just want to have some verification that everything went alright. My CCC says:Code:Software Catalyst Version 8.53 2D Driver Version 8.56.4 Catalyst Control Center Version 2.3

I have tried the newest Cat 9.1 and they dont work for me and my XBMC in Ubuntu 8.1. Everything is like in slow motion because of some low FPS.
I reinstalled the 8.552 from package manager, and I have created a new xorg.conf.
BUT, I have no amdpcsdb in my /usr/share/ati , and I know I need one to be able to adjust for my underscan for my plasma on HDMI/DVI.
So, my question are, HOW do I create a new amdpcsdb and make the driver use 'em?
Thanks

htpc@htpc-desktop:~$ aticonfig --initial
Found fglrx primary device section
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-3
aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor.
htpc@htpc-desktop:~$
And more strange is, that I boot up with a flat screen monitor with VGA, and X start and I have picture.
I then plugg my TV in with HDMI/DVI, dual monitors, and picture on both. But underscan on the TV.
Then with
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,positionX:0
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,positionY:0
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,sizeX:1280
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,sizeY:720
I can get the underscan to disapear.
BUT before, I hade to use the setting
aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0
to get rid of the underscan permanently.
Now I have no amdpcsdb to fix my underscan in, and when I reboot, without the flat screen monitor via VGA, I also get no picture on my plasma.
via SSH I can see that X are not running....
What shall I do?

First copied.
Then in control panel changed, no overscan, vsync and AI.
Code:htpc@htpc-desktop:/etc/ati$ sudo cp amdpcsdb amdpcsdb.TEST htpc@htpc-desktop:/etc/ati$ diff amdpcsdb amdpcsdb.TEST htpc@htpc-desktop:/etc/ati$ diff amdpcsdb amdpcsdb.TEST 156d155 < Centermode=Son 162,164d160 < [AMDPCSROOT/SYSTEM/BUSID-1:5:0-0/OpenGL] < VSyncControl=V3 < CatalystAI=V2 172d167 < LastViewedPage=SMore Settings
Have to figuerer out how to fix the overscan.
If I edit to much in the .default, then I get no screen on boot up.
