 Turns out ATI's installer builds broken .deb packages for --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic, and only works if you use --install

 I wasn't seeing kernel panics, but I don't use compiz, so I still think this could be the same bug as I commented on earlier, and eventually reported here:
http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1695

 Note that ati...run --install will just drop files into the filesystem, and ignores the package manager.
So you'll have /usr/lib/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 kicking around, for example. When they fix this, and you go back to the *.deb packages, you'll want to do
locate 'FGL.renamed' | xargs -d'\n' sudo rm -i
or something. And that anything that re-installs any of the fglrx .debs will overwrite the ones from --install. The only good reason to use --install instead of building .deb packages is that the .deb packages are broken on AMD64 right now!

 I now have fully working 2d and 3d (for i386 and amd64) with fglrx catalyst 9.11, on my Radeon HD4670.
