I had installed the 2:8.721-0ubuntu2 (amd64) package of fglrx by hand
(i.e. gdebi). (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-
installer/2:8.721-0ubuntu2/+build/1569218) Maybe there was the
fglrx.conf contained ... I deleted it because I thought it was left by
the Karmic fglrx driver. ( I did a system upgrade from Karmic to Lucid.
)

Otherwise, that version of the fglrx package had some problems (only the
64bit one) with a missing ld.so.conf and thus the postinst script not
running correctly. I had fixed it by creating the ld.so.conf where it
was expected. But from looking at the postinst-script, there also
should've been a modprobe.conf in that directory which should've been
installed to /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx.conf .... and that package didn't
contain any modprobe.conf file.

So to sum it up - the problem is the missing blacklist file.

I just looked at the 0ubuntu5-version of the package and now the
modprobe.conf seems there. The file I deleted was really left by Karmic.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :) I guess this issue can
be closed.
