Thanks.

I tried that:
sudo ./ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run

But I get this:
[Error]A previous installation of fglrx driver detected to be loaded.
User must uninstall existing fglrx driver
or run install with force option.
Forcing the installation is not recommended.

I also tried to run:
sudo aptitude purge fglrx

And then run the latest ATI install, but it always complains about fglrx
still being installed.
