I'm trying to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04.
I was making the upgrade over the X session of 11.10 i386. I was in the middle of the instalation when the X freezed. So i've made a reboot. When it restarted, i was already in 12.04 version but with the black screen problem. So i've added nomodeset to grub options.
I've runned the commands:
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
in order to install the missing packages (because of the X freeze).
In total the commands installed/upgraded about 1GB more.
But no X yet. So i've uninstalled the fglrx packages and tried to install the amd ati (vendor) package. It give some errors (compilation errors) so i've cleaned it up and reinstalled the fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle ubuntu packages.
CURRENT PROBLEM:
No X, yet.
When i run the command:
apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
a strange output happens (related to link group i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf):

But it seems to install correctly and compiled all the modules to the current kernel.
runned the commmand: aticonfig --initial -f
After reboot, still no X .
I tried to run the X with no fglrx drivers and with. I spend a lot of time on this problem and i really wonder if i can solve it widthout reinstalling ubuntu from scratch.
