did not know this fglrx problem till i installed it :-)

Have been having niggling problems with graphics -
Compiz did work , even befor fglrx now it does not
Cairo Dock worked for a few days and they it just shut up and only
shows white stars instead of any nice icons
Google earth : it worked earlier now it crashes
While booting up i getting a modern art screen for a couple of seconds
Sometimes there are static lines that run up the screen - right side

So was thinking maybe if i had a better driver things would get ok -
hence the fglrx route

am running 2.6.28-13-generic, Ubuntu 9.04 on a t 60 lenovo laptop. and
graphics has never been great.
