In order to get my system up and running again (would start in CLI, not
in X)

- Tried to install fglrx from the repository - couldn't (said was already there)
- Tried to uninstall fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle using apt-get - couldn't do it, because it said it wasn't there
- Force installed the package from AMD website (to overwrite what was there)
- Used the now present force remove scripts
- Renamed my xorg.conf file (because it referenced the now removed fglrx)
- Deleted the directories containing the fglrx drivers entirely
- Installed from repository fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle (now went in, as no previous record)
- Reconfigured using the fglrx control panel from AMD

Took about an hour to try all the steps through, appears that it tried
to partially remove/reuse the existing fglrx and left itself in an
unstable state that the normal remove/reinstall couldn't cope with.
