@jean-Baptiste Lallement, cool name by the way, if I ever got a name change I had always thought of something similar, jean-luke piccard, perhaps, lol

when I get a chance to post the logs I will

FYI, at the time of the upgrade, I did an upgrade using the update manager, from 9.04, to 9.10, to 10.04 over the coarse of a couple days, and at the time I was trying to install my ati drivers in 10.04 and I had "fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3" not "fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4" by checking synaptic, and rather than upgrading using an iso of the alternate cd I used the update manager. I also had the aticcc menu before the upgrade, and I thought I had installed the ati drivers from ati web site, but never got compiz to work, and never got the jockey(hardware drivers) to activate the ati proprietary drivers. Also, I did a "$ dpkg-divert --list" and it listed fglrx as being diverted with another package, can't remember exactly the name of it. What ever that means, probably something to do with the upgrades/and/or not properly installing my ati drivers correctly in the first place. I ran "$ dpkg-divert --remove /name/of/package" and removed the package that conflicted with fglrx. Don't know if I should have done that or not, cause it still didn't let me activate ati proprietary drivers. Had to rename /usr/share/ati to ati_old before I could activate.

I'll give you the outputs on what dpkg-divert --list showed and the logs when I get a chance.
