Zhao, I am no expert at this but perhaps the install log for the driver may give a better clue as to why installation failed:
/usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log I have had to reinstall the drivers several times, typically after downloading and installing a new version of the kernel. This has made my system unusable and I have had to reinstall the fglrx drivers. Prior to reinstalling the fglrx driver I have used Synaptic to remove any packages with "fglrx" in their names. I don't know whether doing this was technically necessary but I have not noticed any bad side effects. Currently my system is working quite happily without any "fglrx*" packages.
