About this, have you ever tried this?:
1- Stop the X server;
2- 'rmmod fglrx';
4- Re-start X server

[...]

Hi Gabriel,
That's a cool suggestion. I'll try it the next time I upgrade. Thanks for
the tip. You might try using the debs created directly from the
ATI-installer from the ATI website. Maybe you'll have better luck. Those
are the ones I always use and they haven't failed me yet.
Cheers,
Jonathan
