ATI fglrx driver does not handles kernel updates correctly

[RISC_CPU]

Config:
 Xubuntu 64 bit (recent alpha version).

Problem:
 When I updated my kernel from 3.0.0-7-generic to 3.0.0-8-generic (from xubuntu repos) it looks like if fglrx driver has not handled this scenario correctly - looks like if kernel module was not updated.

Result:
  fglrx driver has stopped working and I got completely unaccelerated video display which is very slow even at dragging windows, etc.

Workaround:
 I'd selected "Reinstall" in synaptic for fglrx package. This has forced module rebuild and fglrx driver has started working again.
