A bit unfortunate as I can't test Unity without it (need 3D) on my Evergreen ATI card.

Can you explain in more detail how you got this error?

Were you installing onto a USB drive?

I also have an evergreen ati card, and I was able to get fglrx installed on it without this error. I also got unity installed and booted okay, although I had some problems with the docker.

So you should give more details about what you did to get this error. I can't reproduce it.
