$ modprobe fglrx alone doesn't list any errors
but:
$ modprobe -v fglrx lists a whole lot, including a disturbing line saying
"segmentation fault"
that was the only error i personally could see. and i didn't have copy
paste abillities so i cant give you the entire message.

what should i do with this? download the driver again from ati's webpage
and try and install all over again?
