package fglrx 2:8.801-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: fglrx kernel module failed to build

[Christopher]

I installed the 64 bit version of 10.10 on my testing partition. Maverick was running smoothly and since I may decide to upgrade 10.10 at some point on my main partition, I decided to go the upgrade, rather than the fresh install route.

I was only able to launch Natty in low graphics mode, and once launched, these errors were reported.

Kernel 2.6.38-7, AMD Turion II P540
