Sounds like a kernel panic.Originally Posted by Noga
You should try and boot into "single user mode".
To do this, at Grub, edit the kernel line and put the word "single" at the end of it.
Hopefully then you can drop to a shell and remove the driver.
ok but i tried to do it in the recovery mod. i got into the terminal without the graphic view and then i followed some guide to uninstall the driver and at the end i uninstall even the KDE.
I just wanted to know then if there is some "good" way to install the drivers or something?? what do you think?
The only thing I've heard is that it's wise to delete the "/etc/ati" directory before installing new drivers. I'm new to ati cards though.
If you could pastebin.org your xorg log and your messages log someone might be able to help you more.
Bear in mind, that the Xorg.log file is refreshed each time that X starts.

Yeah, delete /etc/ati and then reinstall the drivers. Make sure you do "aticonfig -f --initial" after installation and before rebooting.
do i have just to delete the folder before and type aticonfig -f --initial after and i suppose to be done??
if does it work u are amazing!!!
@Noga
I think its because xorg someway defaults to 8 bit, which fglrx doesn't support.
All you have to do, is to set it up to use DefaultDepth 24 bit in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Like this:
I don't if thats your problem, but thats why I couldn't boot with my 3650. My computer would just be black too.Code:Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" DefaultDepth 24 EndSection
@tball i cant find the xorg.conf in the kubuntu 9.10 ??
@NeoBrain i cant find the ATI folder...??
Well you should definitely have a xorg.conf file, if you want to use fglrx. Did you install the driver through the hardware drivers app within settings?
If you don't have a xorg.conf file, it won't load fglrx. Instead it tries to load the oss radeon driver, and that won't work with fglrx installed :P So that might be our problem.
Try run sudo aticonfig -f --initial, and see if you got a xorg.conf file within /etc/X11
