Sure, look here
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide. Then
follow the instructions for removing catalyst/fglrx, its about halfway
down the page. After that, goto the top of the page to the section
called "Installing Catalyst Manually (from AMD/ATI's site)"  and follow
the directions there. Make sure that in the command to create the .deb
packages you change Ubuntu/oneiric to Ubuntu/precise.
So the key steps are 
1.)completely remove existing catalyst/fglrx
2.)download and compile new driver 
3.)install the new driver
4.)reboot

Title:
  [MASTER] Xorg crashes when trying to play a video with XV under
  xserver 1.11 - xs111LookupPrivate

Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “fglrx-installer” source package in Precise:
  In Progress
Status in “fglrx-driver” package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current version of fglrx in Precise has a bug that results in an X
  crash when playing Xv video.

  This is a known issue and is expected to be fixed prior to the Precise
  release.

  We knew of this bug before updating to this driver, but made the
  decision to proceed because the previous version did not work at all
  with 1.11 due to ABI incompatibilities.  Historically, fglrx pretty
  much always breaks during development, because we update the xserver
  and then it takes some months to get a new driver from ATI.  This time
  we're lucky in that the  driver mostly works.

  [Workarounds]
  * Switch to -ati
  * Use oneiric until this is fixed.
  * Disable Xv in your xorg.conf:

      Section "Extensions"
          Option "XVideo" "Disable"
      EndSection

  [Original Report]
  After the upgrade, X seems to crash every time I try to play a video.
