Each time a new kernal comes down (like tonight) the graphics on my

@Bryan Smith:
Uninstall fglrx, install dkms, reinstall fglrx.

DKMS will automatically rebuild the fglrx kernel module every time the

Interesting. It seems like you are restoring the missing

Did your driver stop working immediately after upgrading, or did your
file disappear later on as well? Perhaps a new one
I think in order to fix this and/or find the original problem, we need a
set of steps to /reliably/ reproduce it.
Something like
1) Install 9.10 beta
2) Muck with conf file A, B
3) Delete conf file C
4) Click hardware drivers, activate fglrx
5) Things broke, here's exactly how.
