Solved: Dell 1501 amd64 won't Shutdown after fglrx install.

 After I installed ATI fglrx on my Del 1501 amd64 it would not Reboot/Shutdown/Logout..
I am running Feisty 7.04 AMD64 kenel..
Here is my fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON XPRESS Series
