[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#554847: fglrx-source: fglrx > 9.8 hangs system with nforce chipset and gigabyte HD 4850

Package: fglrx-source
Version: 1:9-9-1
Severity: important

(note that I faked the version number of fglrx-source and fglrx-driver, as I'm currently running the system with 9.8)

Upgrading to fglrx 9.9 or 9.10 without building and installing the
kernel module gives me a working Xorg, which is very slow.

As soon as I build and install the kernel module I get
 - a blank screen, with backlight on
 - system reacts to ping, but nothing else (no ssh, no serial terminal, no Ctrl-Alt-F1, no Alt-SysRQ)

I have saved an Xorg.0.log, and parts of syslog, but I'm not 100% sure
they are the right ones. To check, I'd need to reinstall the broken
driver, reboot and then boot into maintenance mode and save the logs.
Would that help?

On a different machine (intel core duo, mobile ati card) I run fglrx
9.9 without problems, so it must be related to my hardware.

I'll add the full output of lspci -v after the debconf information.
