Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

This started after the most recent kernel updates on Lucid. No ATI drivers seem to be able to build and create the necessary kernel module with dkms. Attempted 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 manually. Issue seems to possibly be related to a change that came out with the kernel update. See error message below from the dkms make log for most recent ATI driver.

I have the same issue. Doing the makefile by hand give the reports.
In my case, I installed the 10.8 catalyst driver before. It didn't cause any trouble
Due to some display troubles I installed catalyst 10.9 without problem either and all my previous troubles were fixed.
I noticed that the catalyst control center panel was still showing "Catalyst 10.8" instead of the new driver one
So I deinstalled all, reboot and reinstall 10.9 again but, this time, with the error described here.
Beetwen the driver 10.8 and driver 10.9 installations, there was a kernel change (2.6.32-24-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 14:58:24 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

here are the errors I've got :
