The hang leaves the system unaccessible though ssh and not recoverable through the ctrl-alt F1 mechanism. The log files indicate the fglrx-driver is loaded into the kernel as it should be. However the hang is so hard that no additional information is written to kernel.log messages Xorg.0.log or system.log.

So this is a upstream bug, where we can not do anything except of 
tracking this bug (more work).


-- Package-specific info:
Full fglrx package list:
rc  fglrx                      2:14.501-0ubuntu1  amd64              Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators

What's this? Not that it broke your system!

Did it worked with previous fglrx versions? Which was the last one?
