I cleaned everything up:

sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx-core fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-intel
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
sudo update-alternatives --remove-all x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sudo rm -rf /etc/ati

rebooted and then I have tried to install the fglrx-updates and it worked. This evening I will redo the test for the fglrx.
