Upstream says this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release.

Unfortunately, we're about to upload xserver 1.10 within the next week or so, which will break fglrx until it gains support for 1.10 (which may be some time).

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I can't reproduce the problem here (using the same driver and kernel). Furthermore the package has a patch that is supposed to fix this issue.

Please type the following command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-headers-2.6.37-12-server

Then attach the following file:
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.801/build/make.sh.log
