Aha, solved it in two parts, firstly due to being a complete idiot I
didnt notice linux-restricted-modules wasn't installed. This is a bad
thing. After that there was still a problem that libgl was looking for
fglrx_dri.so in compltely the wrong place so I had to add
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri
to /etc/profile

Did you install FGLRX from the Ubuntu repos or from the ATI website?
I'm using FGLRX drivers from the Ubuntu repo and didn't have to make
any modifications to environment variables or files.

Hope this helps anyone else, although I doubt anyone else would be
quite that stupid

Thanks for the update!
