I seem to have have made progress on my crashes of glxinfo.

The output of my fglrxinfo is:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.2.9737 Compatibility Profile Context

Previously the fglrxinfo was complaining that no devices exist and that the file /etc/ait/control was not found. I copied the /etc/ati/control.dpkg-bak file to /etc/ati/control but that didn't fix the whole problem.

After a reboot, my installation was running in a limited graphics mode and the last error that I had was saying that my /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default was missing. I again coppied the /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default.dpkg-bak to /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default and then everything appears to be working.

The only side effect right now is that I have a AMD Testing use only graphic in the lower right corner of my screen. I would assume that will go away once the final release of Lucid is out.

@Nils: You're still using the radeon driver, not fglrx. Run "aticonfig --initial -f" and reboot to activate fglrx.

@Dann: You get this watermark if /etc/ati/signature is not installed correctly. The fact that /etc/ati/control was missing as well indicates that something went wrong during driver installation.

@Felix: Yes! I didn't have an /etc/ati/signature. But I did have a /etc/ati/signature.dpkg-bak. Also, I just did an update and there were changes to the fglrx packages and they looked like they were installing all the files I was missing. Hopefully we are getting closer.

I got this error message though a silly means... I tried to run glxgears/glxdemo (whatever) over xhosting. Now don't get me wrong, I'd love for that to work. But I don't really consider that much of a fail.

I think the problem that Nils was experiencing was caused by the fact that he didn't install the driver through Jockey but only installed the fglrx package manually (which is clearly not enough).

I'm closing this bug report.
