In that case you probably have installed the fglrx driver not by
commmunity repositories, but by hand. Do a

  find /lib/modules -name fglrx.\*

and delete the found modules (you may add '-exec rm \{\} +' to the find
command for that).

Don't do that. This is typically a bad idea. If an ABI mismatch happens
for a self-compiled version of the driver, then your Xserver SDK doesn't
match the installed Xserver (package xorg-x11-server-sdk vs. xorg-x11-server).
