Yes, it has been discussed to make them conflicting, which they really
are! But really it should have been fixed in the fglrx driver, which we
can not do anything about. Just shows how dangerous and unsatisfactory
it is to use proprietary software.

Thank you,
removimg fglrx proprietary driver seems to fix the problem with
unresolved symbols, and I even managed to enable compiz etc.
But is it normal that there are conflicting video drivers in leading
desktop distribution? Maybe it is not a bad idea to set this two .deb
packages as conflicting?
I guess the proprietary fglrx driver has not been completely removed.

Try:
dpkg -l '*fglrx*'
and
locate fglrx
to see if there is still some evil proprietary bits around.
It looks like a mismatch be
