fglrx-core 2:15.200-0ubuntu4.1: fglrx-core kernel module failed to build

[Ari Torhamo]

I changed the graphics card of my computer from Nvidia to Ati. I changed the driver from proprietary Nvidia to Nouveau before changing the card. After putting in the Ati card, there were no displaydrivers available in Additional Drivers. Because of this, I used Software Center to install fglrx driver. Something seems to have gone wrong with the installation, because automatic error reporting was triggered. Software Center says fxlrx is installed.

My system also doesn't boot because of the driver problem. The boot is halted somewhere before the login screen.
