So, after I installed the new Catalyst 8.12 driver on Ubuntu 8.10, I get stuck at the login with a black screen and a few other colors near the top. I can still login, but the screen stays the same and all I can hear is sound.

This happened right after I switched to Vista to update the same drivers and when I returned to Ubuntu I can no longer see anything.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
