Comment 50 for bug 440233

I was using 32-bit Lucid since the release and there was no problem with fglrx until today. Somehow I decided to accept the ubuntu update. Unfortunately after that in the next reboot I got the 'missing amdpcsdb.default' error. I have an ATI HD5670 card and installed using the driver from the amd website at the fresh intall. Everything worked out of the box until today. Actually when I get into my system I did not see the folder of /etc/ati at all. I copied the /etc/ati folder from another ubuntu on my computer (that one has no problem at all). Then I can boot normally into the system. However, still with lagging windows and no advanced desktop effects at all (compiz).

I tried to uninstall the fglrx driver but get this:
zheng@zzdesk:/usr/share/ati$ sudo ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
restore of system environment completed

Error! There are no instances of module: fglrx
8.723 located in the DKMS tree.
Errors during DKMS module removal

Uninstall fglrx driver complete...

Trying to reinstall the driver again but get this:
Detected configuration:
Architecture: i686 (32-bit)
X Server: X.Org 7.5
DKMS part of installation failed. Please refer to /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for details
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.i46ko9

I have the up-to-date DKMS.

So the problem now seems to be that somehow the driver cannot be installed. I have attached my Xorg.0.log. It would be nice if someone may advise me some tips.
