If you want to install the latest fglrx from AMD's website, you need to make sure that you have removed any trace of previous fglrx installations, including the version included in the repositories. Simply overwriting a previous installation is not guaranteed to work
Assuming you are running a stock Ubuntu Lucid, the following command sequence should do the trick. If you are running anything from the xorg-edgers ppa, or a non-stock kernel, you will have issues.
wget www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-9-x86.x86_64.run
sh ati-driver-installer-10-9-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/lucid
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
sudo aticonfig --initial
If you have any errors/failures after a reboot, post a copy of your dmesg and Xorg.0.log
Good luck.
