I tried installing xorg-driver-fglrx, but that didn't seem to make any difference.

I also did a few times
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
What is strange, it that alternately it yields a [OK] to stopping, but [fail] on starting, and nothing more. And alternately [ok] on both, and same error as described above (screen blanking four times, and then nothing more). This is the same regardless if fglrx is installed or not.

Hope this could be of some help in investigating the problem. Please tell me if there is any additional testing you think I should do.
I'd also like to test installing with alternate installer. To do this, I need to shrink my existing partition where windows is installed. The most difficult part of this is however getting my wifes permission, which could probably be quite tricky... So it could probably take some time... ;-)
If I get the time I might try to debug and report that problem with the wireless also.
