After I installed the ATI/AMD FGLRX graphic drivers, the display output doesn't work and my display goes to sleep. I installed the drivers through the Additional Drivers systems settings tool.

I am able to change during the boot into to my previous patch version of Linux. I'm on 11.10.

Thanks!

How did you install the driver ? You can probably just remove it or delete/move your xorg.conf

Boot to recovery mode, start a root shell. You will be at the command line without a graphical interface 

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ati

exit the root shell, and continue with a normal boot

exit
