hoary: fglrx-driver can't be removed

[Ilmari Vacklin]

Hello,

The recent (today's) Hoary upgrade to Xorg from XFree for those using
fglrx broke my setup. I can't remove fglrx-driver, as demonstrated
below, and it conflicts with xorg-driver-fglrx, which is required for
Xorg to run now. Fglrx-driver fails to remove due to a diversion being
handled improperly, I guess.

By the way, I'm writing this from console now, without X running, and
vim takes *ages* to load. (I don't actually know if this is related to X
not running..) Running 'vim -V' shows that it is opening an XSMP
connection (which is?), which takes quite long and fails in the end,
and then takes extremely long to load ~/.vim/after/plugin/*.vim.
~/.vim/after doesn't even exist! 

Anyway, here's the fglrx problem, which is the urgent one:

$ sudo apt-get -f install

Thanks for your help in advance,
