fglrx 8.97 (Catalyst 12.6 Legacy) support legacy hardware (pre-HD5000) but doesn't support xserver 1.13 so it can not work on Quantal.

fglrx 9.00 published on AMD web-site (Catalyst 12.9 Beta, August build) is doesn't support xserver 1.13 so it can not work on Quantal. It also doesn't support legacy hardware.

fglrx 9.00 published in Ubuntu repository (September build) is support xserver 1.13 but it doesn't support Radeon HD 46xx so you can not use this driver on Quantal.

So in my opinion you most likely experience different issue. Solution is: uninstall proprietary driver or use proprietary driver on Precise.
