After installing the Fglrx drivers from the Lubuntu software center, my computer stopped working. Actually only after I rebooted.
I have a 1080p monitor and it says "please set 1920*1080@60Hz as resolution". Pressing ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work. I would like to unistall them from the live cd because I don't want to format the PC!
Can anyone help me?
use grub and boot in (recovery mode) https://askubuntu.com/a/117954/216166
follow instructions:
amdconfig --initial -f; reboot;
if this still not helped try this:
apt-get purge fglrx*; mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/amd.xorg.conf; reboot;
post this information by editing your question
lubuntu version?
lsb_release -a
graphic card?
lspci -nnk | grep -i VGA -A2
its possible that the kernel/xorg version is not compatible with the fglrx driver.

Try booting into recovery or boot from cd and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it helps sometimes.
Your monitor is saying that it can't display the resolution, not your PC, so your pc is probably still operating, but you aren't able to see what's happening. If your pc is responsive, this should solve the problem(you will just have to do it blindly):
Press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F1>
type in your username, <Enter>
type in your password, <Enter>
sudo apt-get purge fglrx*, <Enter>
type in your password, <Enter>
sudo reboot, <Enter>
It will remove the fglrx driver, and install the open source driver. Since you won't be able to see your progress after entering any of the commands, you should probably wait a bit after executing each command.
