Yep, nothing named flg* under /lib/modules/`uname -r`

For some reason, my local Ubuntu mirror doesn't have this package. I
managed to track one down and install it. Now on reboot I do have an
flgrx module that gets loaded automatically, but still no direct
rendering :-(. lsmod says:
> lsmod | grep fgl
fglrx 391756 8
agpgart 36784 2 fglrx,intel_agp
In Xorg.0.log I find:
(II) LoadModule: "GLcore"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so: undefined symbol:
__glXLastContext
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so
(II) UnloadModule: "GLcore"
which according this this :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/35555
is benign (although I should remove "GLcore" from the Modules section of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf).
I also have this which may or may not mean anything:
(WW) fglrx(0): Specified desktop setup not supported: 8
I searched the Ubuntu forums (damn I hate web based forums) but everything
there seemed to be at least a year old and highly unlikely to be relevant
to Dapper.
