Angry fglrx bricked my netbook

Hello

I've been using Fedora 15 LXDE for a few weeks (its been great), and decided to install the ati proprietary drivers (I used the tutorial in one of the general strickies). As soon as I rebooted, I now get the following message:

Code:
Started SYSV: Late init script for live image... ATI external events daemon... into universal adresses
I can type stuff using the cursor, but it doesn't do anything. I've tried adding 'runlevel 3' to the boot options in Grub to try and prevent fglrx conflicting with Xorg but it doesn't seem to work, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Any help would be great

Cheers

edit: just so you know it's an Acer Aspire One 521

Re: fglrx bricked my netbook

I believe you only need to add a space and the number 3, not runlevel 3.
