fglrx will not load at all on my AMD/ATI RS780 chip set (on my mobo).
Doesn't seem to make much difference, as my system runs just fine in DVI
mode, and the one game I have that requires accelerated sound and video
operates correctly. The default(?) driver does the job for me.

I am glad to see this discussion. I was wondering if my chipset had had
an infant mortality.

Title:
fglrx-installer not working with HD2000-4000 "legacy" cards in Quantal
Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
New
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Following the AMD decision to change to a new driver support model for
Radeon™ HD 4000, HD 3000 and HD 2000 series cards as per
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-
radeon_linux.aspx , fglrx-installer installs non-working drivers.
I suggest the addition of an fglrx-legacy package to install the AMD
legacy drivers for users with older cards or patch the current code
base for use with these cards.
Output for fglrx 9.00 [1]:

WORKAROUND: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx && sudo apt-get
update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install fglrx-
legacy
This workaround will downgrade X to 1.12 and install the AMD legacy
fglrx 8.97 (Catalyst 12.6).
