niklas' approach worked for me as well. fglrx now seems to be properly uninstalled and the free ati driver is working without any issues.
Compiz, 3D and KMS work, glxinfo |grep vendor gives
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Though I think it's not neccessary to remove fglrx-modaliases since that package (as far as i understand it) exists to tell jockey on which cards the fglrx can be installed. I guess jockey won't work properly without it so it might be useful if you want to install fglrx via jockey sometime in the future. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
