Title:
  jockey fglrx driver error

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  new bug report as requested by Martin Pitt at the end of bug #804709.

  with the subsequent week's worth of beta updates the situation has
  changed somewhat. jockey now displays two entries for ATI proprietary
  drivers, one of which (ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX) works, and one of
  which (ATI Fire GL) gives the previously reported error. i'll try to
  attach a screenshot of the jockey-gtk window to this report so you can
  see what i mean.

  the second entry there now installs the fglrx drivers without error,
  so that's great. but what's with the first entry? when attempting to
  activate that first entry the error originally reported is still
  thrown by jockey, that is:  "SystemError: E:Unable to correct
  problems, you have held broken packages."

  this could be at the very least very confusing for a lot of people.

  fyi running jockey-text gives the following output:

  root@xxxxx:~# jockey-text -l
  kmod:fglrx - ATI Fire GL (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
  xorg:fglrx - ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use)

  root@xxxxx:~# jockey-text -e kmod:fglrx
  SystemError: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  also this 64-bit system is testing an upgrade from natty to oeneric,
  if that info is of any use.

  ok, hope you can get it sorted,
  if it stays that way for oeneric release, and others are affected, you'll surely get a swag of bug reports,

  cheers,
  stephen.
