It sounds like you just have a messed up install.  These files are
installed normally during the configuration stage; if you reboot the
system before it's completed this stage, it can result in these files
not being put into place properly.  This can cause a lot of trouble,
which it sounds like you've been having.  A fresh reinstall is probably
the easiest solution, although if you're skillful with apt you can
probably get it back in shape, but that's outside the scope of an X bug
report.

Regarding the fglrx from AMD, that won't work.  AMD has not yet released
a version of fglrx for the kernel we include in Karmic.  The fglrx we
have is a pre-release version they've provided for Karmic.

Regarding the problem with xorg.conf when manually removing fglrx,
that's not really a bug - if you manually remove a video driver you also
need to manually remove it from xorg.conf.

** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu Karmic)
       Status: Triaged => Invalid

-- 
fglrx fails at startup because of missing  amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf
