I just tried installing the catalyst 8.12 driver on my ubuntu 64 8.04 for my hd4870... I followed the instructions at:
But when I reboot after installing the driver, it just goes to a black screen after the progress bar finishes. I can't do anything at this point except hit the reset button on the pc. I'd like to be able to run something newer than catalyst 8.9, but at least 8.11 and 8.12 are just giving me black screens on reboot.
I seem to remember reading about black screen after installation of newer ati drivers, but cannot find a solution...
