Bug Description
[Impact]
A patch included in the driver dkms packaging was included in a kernel update, so the patch application by the driver began to fail.
[Fix]
The patch in question can now be dropped. There is a new upstream driver released for fglrx so we may as well pull that in at this time.
[Test Case]
1. On a precise system with a recent supported ATI graphics card
2. Run jockey-gtk
3. Select the fglrx-updates package and install it
4. Reboot
Expected: Installs cleanly and boots back to ubuntu using the fglrx driver
Actual: Fails installation.
[Regression Potential]
Since this is a patch application issue, only way this would regress is if someone readded it.
The fix being proposed includes updating to a new driver release, which is fine as per the tech board's video driver update policy, however since the driver is closed source we have no way of being 100% sure there are not changes which could bring regression.
[Recommended Validation]
* Verify the driver can be installed via jockey, and will reboot ok
* At least 1-week in -proposed for testing
