package fglrx 2:8.840-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: fglrx kernel module failed to build

[Eliah Kagan]

On an Oneiric amd64 20110526.1 daily-live CD system with an ATi Radeon HD 5700 Series video card, there were some rendering problems in Unity, but that's not what this bug report is about. Because of those problems, I logged out, logged in with a classic session, ran jockey-gtk (Additional Drivers), and attempted to install fglrx (the ATi proprietary drivers). The installation failed, and an Apport window came up so I could report the failure as this bug. In addition to the automatically attached files, I've attached /var/log/jockey.log.
