Graphics Problem Upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04

I recently upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04 and ran into a wee bit of graphics/display bother.

The actual upgrade itself went without a hitch but when booting into 9.04 for the first time, I was met with a "garbled" display. I was able to discover through a number of forum posts that the problem lies with the xorg driver and one post (apologies to the original author, I cant remember where I found this!) suggested running the following command. Seeing as how booting into the terminal was still possible, this was an option.

apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx

This restored full graphics functionality, happy days!
