Work flow One line : sudo apt-get purge fglrx-modaliases fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-kernel-source xorg-driver-fglrx xorg-driver-fglrx-dev ; rebbot

After reboot : sudo rm -r /etc/ati ; sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf*; sudo apt-get install fglrx ; sudo aticonfig —initial ; reboot

Again after reboot: Enable desktop effects from appearance.

Details: Step 0 => Removal of the old drivers. Step 1 => Rebooting, this would have resulted in new xorg.conf. Step 2 => Removal of ati folder and xrog.confs. Step 3 => Installing flgrx drivers afresh. Step 4 => Generating new ati confs. Step 5 => Rebooting and enabling desktop effects
