Public bug reported:

I tried to install fglrx using jockey on karmic. it installed and set up
'Driver "fglrx"' in the xorg.conf. after rebooting Xorg.0.log showed
that i was using fglrx. however the performance was very bad so i wanted
to remove it.

in jockey i clicked deactivate, let it do its stuff, and then rebooted.

however it does not seem to have done anything. everything is still installed
sam@oberon:~$ dpkg -l | grep fglrx

and the xorg.conf still points to fglrx.

but jockey claims that the driver is not activated.
