I switched to proposed and was able to install fglrx-updates without problems. After a reboot my .Xauthority file was owned by root causing me to be stuck at the login screen with poor screen resolution. I was able to fix the .Xauthority file:
sudo rm .Xauthority
The file got re-created a few times with root ownership (which should not be the case?) but after:

sudo rm .Xauthority
The file got re-created a few times with root ownership (which should not be the case?) but after:
sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start
it seemed to be recreated with user ownership so I SHOULD be able to login. However that was not the case.
Running
sudo Xorg -configure
gave the following error message:
