There's a thread in the forum as well. Searching for fglrx it's the first one right now, though it's titled towards nvidia. But just look inside. there are instructions on how to revert back. However, the following rule always holds true if you are using fglrx (and to some extent, the nvidia driver): before updating your system, check if there's any important update for X, and if so, please, always triple check in the forum and the web that the new X release is supported by your drivers. At least for fglrx, this is almost never true so the regular procedure is to mask the packages that are about to be updated, and check again when a new ati-drivers revision is in place. -- Jesús Guerrero
