I'm getting a very similar problem here.

I installed the restricted-modules driver to get the card going, but when I discovered that left me with no control panel I decided to install the fglrx driver instead.

Doing so resulted in this:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  xorg-driver-fglrx
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 53.8MB disk space will be freed.
