@deltatux: I'm new to these fglrx issues so please take whatever I say with a grain of salt. I also had the "segmentation fault" problem when installing installing fglrx for the first time (i.e not upgrading, but switching from the opensource driver to the proprietary one on a fresh Lucid 64-bit install).

Rebooting, then running:

aticonfig --initial

and then rebooting again seemed to fix things. I no longer get a segmentation fault on fglrxinfo and glxgears is working.

I then ran into the window issues that Nicolas Delvaux describes in post #57. The lucid PPA worked wonders and now things are working nicely. Switching from the open-source driver to the proprietary driver dropped my CPU temp from almost 90C to 50C!
