You installed the ati-provided fglrx package, which doesn't play nicely
with Ubuntu, though they tried. :/

To fix your upgrade, you'll need to completely purge it (dpkg -P
xorg-driver-fglrx), then do the upgrade, then install *our* version,
rather than theirs.

I need to work with ATI to get their packages to not stomp all over
ours, I guess. :/
