I just got around to trying this, but it broke the graphics again.
Before trying it, I also downloaded the ppa-purge utility.  When I ran
ppa-purge, my CLI did not have net access, so the purge was incomplete
and did not revert back to the old drivers.

- got CLI net access
- ran ppa-purge - no good
- ran package fix - updated some 100MB - no good
- ran xfix - no good
- ran apt-get remove fglrx-amdcccle - no good
- ran apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx - now works, with full screen effects and low cpu


So I think somehow xorg-driver-fglrx was the root of the original problem when I moved from Ubuntu 8 to 9.04

What suggestions do you have to assure I'm on the preferred drivers and
this xorg/fglrx mess is cleared up?
