> installing fresh FGLRX from ATI page failed to solve issue
1. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx
fglrx 8.97 (Catalyst 12.6 Legacy) support legacy hardware (pre-HD5000) but doesn't support xserver 1.13 so it can not work on Quantal. 
2. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
fglrx 9.00 published on AMD web-site (Catalyst 12.9 Beta, August build) is doesn't support xserver 1.13 so it can not work on Quantal. It also doesn't support legacy hardware.
3. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer
fglrx 9.00 published in Ubuntu repository (September build) is support xserver 1.13 but it doesn't support Radeon HD 46xx so you can not use this driver on Quantal.

So in my opinion you most likely experience different issue. Solution
is: uninstall proprietary driver or use proprietary driver on Precise.
