Stay away from fglrx for the time being. Xorg was updated about 2 months
ago, and brought about an ABI change which breaks fglrx.

ATI still haven't released a new version which fixed this, and to rub
salt in the wounds, even brought out fglrx 11-10 in the mean time which
is still broken.

I'm not a fan of full GNOME3 so I'm staying on fallback anyway.
