Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:12-6-2
Severity: important

Hi,

The latest release of the fglrx driver does not work at all with an ATI7970 card.
System starts-up, then blanks the screen and then sometimes some kernel logging, but doesn't switch to graphics-mode.
Tried it with the configuration of ati-config --initial as well as a completely empty xorg.conf.
Also restarting gdm3 (to restart the x-server) causes an hard crash.
This is on a:
