Specs of my fully updated Lucid 64 Bit:

- Sony Vaio FW4
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650
- Linux linuropa 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
... with Gnome and newest fglrx from ATI homepage.

This (slightly different) workaround solved my problem. Notice the
different path in the first command (lib32 instead of lib):

$ sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2
$ sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx-kernel-source fglrx-modaliases xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-amdcccle libamdxvba1

Because of the fact that I had already installed the new fglrx driver
from ATI homepage and just wanted to remove the "old remnant" (because
of a brightness acpi/dsdt bug that sadly affected me since Lucid again),
I did the following after entering the two command above - just to be
sure:

### Re-installation of newest fglrx driver downloaded from ATI homepage
$ sudo ./ati-driver-installer-10-5-x86.x86_64.run
$ sudo aticonfig --initial -f
$ sudo init 6

Maybe this is useful to some ppl.
Thx for the workaround.

Dennis
