Comment 46 for bug 565407

I need to clarify, I uninstalled the "xserver-xorg-video-ati" and "xserver-xorg-video-radeon" packages from synaptic, not just searched for them. Having two ati drivers packages installed was probably causing errors and preventing me from installing fglrx, as well as having to rename /usr/share/ati folder to /usr/share/ati_old all helped fix my issue. Although now, I go into monitor, and it doesn't show what model monitor I have, before it would display the model name of my monitor as "Viewsonic", I'm not complaining, that's really a mute point. I also had two sets of ati ccc in the preferences menu, but fixed that by deleting one set in the main menu configurator.
