 This driver will replace parts of your X11/Mesa system:
 =======================================================
-If you encounter problems with the fglrx driver it is not enough to switch back
-to vesa or radeon, because the fglrx driver replaces some parts of your
-X11/Mesa system which will be still loaded.
-The only solution is to remove fglrx from your system.
