I had the same problem after upgrading to jaunty: screen would remain
black, even though it did work with the fglrx package driver before the
upgrade. Radeon HD3300. Motherboard: M3A78-T. Th e radion driver didn't
work either.

Changing the BIOS settings from "Sideport" to "UDMA" (meaning part of
the main memory will be used) and installing the driver from the AMD
website did solve the problem.

I'm not sure whether only switching to UDMA would have solved the
problem. I installed the new driver first, which didn't work. I switched
to UDMA, then it worked. Then I re-installed the ubuntu drivers, and it
didn't work again, even though this might be another problem (I didn't
now how to reverse the manual installation of the AMD drivers).

I also have all four memory banks filled (8 GB).

JCS.
