I did that upgrade yesterday.

I tried both with and without fglrx driver. Without it, with both radeon
or ati xorg driver, the xorg server answered that It could not start as
the ATI/Radeon drivers wont load : ABI major number (set to 0) for the
video driver is different as Xorg ABI major number (set to 1). 
The symptoms are close to what's described in
