@jean-Baptiste Lallement, cool name by the way, if I ever got a name
change I had always thought of something similar, jean-luke piccard,
perhaps, lol

when I get a chance to post the logs I will

FYI, at the time of the upgrade, I did an upgrade using the update
manager, from 9.04, to 9.10, to 10.04 over the coarse of a couple days,
and at the time I was trying to install my ati drivers in 10.04 and I
had "fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3" not "fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4" by
checking synaptic, and rather than upgrading using an iso of the
alternate cd I used the update manager. I also had the aticcc menu
before the upgrade, and I thought I had installed the ati drivers from
ati web site, but never got compiz to work, and never got the
jockey(hardware drivers) to activate the ati proprietary drivers. Also,
I did a "$ dpkg-divert --list" and it listed fglrx as being diverted
with another package, can't remember exactly the name of it. What ever
that means, probably something to do with the upgrades/and/or not
properly installing my ati drivers correctly in the first place. I ran
"$ dpkg-divert --remove /name/of/package" and removed the package that
conflicted with fglrx. Don't know if I should have done that or not,
cause it still didn't let me activate ati proprietary drivers. Had to
rename /usr/share/ati to ati_old before I could activate.

I'll give you the outputs on what dpkg-divert --list showed and the logs
when I get a chance.
