[HD5450] Cannot load module fglrxdrm after xorg-driver-fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3 update

[Manuel Sanchez]

After updating xorg-driver-fglrx to 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3, the machine previously exhibiting the behaviour described in bug #560570 (running 10.04 beta) now fails to load libfglrxdrm.so and reverts to vesa. I presume this is an update error unrelated to the problem defined in the other bug (driver hang), thus I'm submitting it as a new one.
