[Alaric <jroose@xxxxxxxxx>]

The installation of the post-release updates through jockey failed.  I've
attached the new log.  Attempting to revert to the original package.

Jockey claimed to revert to the original driver successfully, but I was
unable to test the jockey based installation due (I believe) to some
unreleated problems I was having with compiz.  After deleting my compiz
configurations (again, unrelated) and manually installing fglrx-updates, my
system is up and running with fglrx enabled.  It appears to me that the main
issue here is that fglrx is lacking the kernel source/header dependencies.

Regards,
Jon
