I had the same problem, and it happened because I installed fglrx and
tried to re-run X without rebooting the machine.

(I know that the usual driver packages can load fglrx without
rebooting (in fact, they can even load it in-place), but in this case
it obviously didn't work).

So the solution that worked for me was shutting down X, completely
reinstalling fglrx, and then rebooting the machine. Upon reboot, the
graphics/gdm started properly, under fglrx, and things like
glxgears/xdriinfo etc. worked without problems:

1. Enter/switch to text mode
2. sudo stop gdm
2. sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx
3. sudo rm -rf /usr/lib*/fglrx
4. sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
5. sudo apt-get install fglrx
6. sudo aticonfig --initial
7. sudo reboot

no 3d support after fglrx
