Well it looks like the series of steps you took was what led to this
unfortunately, and it will take some troubleshooting to figure out just
where it went wrong. The correct thing to do in the situation you are in
right now would be to sudo apt-get install ppa-purge, then sudo ppa-
purge xorg-edgers, then when that is done go to system - preferences -
hardware drivers and activate fglrx. reboot and then deactivate fglrx
through the same hardware drivers interface instead of via apt-
get/aptitude/synaptic  and on the next reboot things should be working
properly with the open source drivers and you can reenable xorg-edgers
if you want. You had stale files hanging around from an old fglrx
install, how you got into that situation I am unsure of. Did you install
the drivers from outside of the package manager at any time in the past?
Did you have xorg-edgers enabled before you did the karmic-lucid
upgrade? It's possible fglrx isn't handling the upgrade from karmic-
lucid correctly now, can you look at your apt logs and find the exact
upgrade error you had?
