Public bug reported:

Hello!

I am using Xubuntu 11.10, which was upgraded from 11.04, with all the latest updates installed. My system is an Acer TravelMate 5740G Notebook. The graphics card for which the FGLRX driver is being used is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650.
 I switched from GDM to the LightDM display manager when I upgraded to Oneiric.

The tool for proprietary drivers offered me updated package for the FGLRX driver (Which is displayed with the misspelled name "FGRLX" in the German localization) for installation. FGLRX, which was listed there as a separate item, was already installed and activated (I did this before I upgraded the distro), while the updated package was not. So I tried to install this, but it failed after the data download. 
However, my previously installed FGLRX driver didn't work anymore afterwards. I had to reinstall it, which worked fine.

I did the whole thing twice, the error was reproduceable.

When the installation of the updated package fails the appearing error message window refers me to the following log file:
 /var/log/jockey.log

The log file is attatched to this report.
