[RISC_CPU <825877@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Config:
 Xubuntu 64 bit (recent alpha version).

Problem: 
 When I updated my kernel from 3.0.0-7-generic to  3.0.0-8-generic (from xubuntu repos) it looks like if fglrx driver has not handled this scenario correctly - looks like if kernel module was not updated. 

Result: 
  fglrx driver has stopped working and I got completely unaccelerated video display which is very slow even at dragging windows, etc. 

Workaround: 
 I'd selected "Reinstall" in synaptic for fglrx package. This has forced module rebuild and fglrx driver has started working again.
