This bug had occurred on my testing/sid machine during a large upgrade. At that point, the Xorg dependencies on my system were in such a state that apt-get successfully installed fglrx-driver despite the xserver-xorg-core version being >=1.18. As noted in bug #811031, the Catalyst drivers do not support that xserver release. For my machine, this bug was merely the effect of unintentionally installing the Catalyst drivers onto a non-supported xserver version. My apologies. Maybe this bug should be closed as irrelevant or marked as directly related to #811031. Thanks!
