There's a thread in the forum as well. Searching for fglrx it's the first
one right now, though it's titled towards nvidia. But just look inside.
there are instructions on how to revert back. However, the following rule
always holds true if you are using fglrx (and to some extent, the nvidia
driver): before updating your system, check if there's any important update
for X, and if so, please, always triple check in the forum and the web that
the new X release is supported by your drivers.
At least for fglrx, this is almost never true so the regular procedure is
to mask the packages that are about to be updated, and check again when a
new ati-drivers revision is in place.
