Zhao,

I am no expert at this but perhaps the install log for the driver may 
give a better clue as to why installation failed:

/usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log

I have had to reinstall the drivers several times, typically after 
downloading and installing a new version of the kernel.   This has made 
my system unusable and I have had to reinstall the fglrx drivers.  Prior 
to reinstalling the fglrx driver I have used Synaptic to remove any 
packages with "fglrx" in their names.  I don't know whether doing this 
was technically necessary but I have not noticed any bad side effects.

Currently my system is working quite happily without any "fglrx*"
packages.

Regards,

Bryan
