so I have worked out a workaround for the time being. I added "insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/kms/fgrlx.ko" to /etc/rc.local.
that loads the module fine, and then u have to restart x by restarting lightdm to get everything to load right ( either switch into a VT then back, or login and logout, or I guess u could add something like service lightdm restart to /etc/rc.local).
As far as I can see the problem seems to be that modprobe cannot find fglrx. For the life of me I can't figure out why seems it seems to be listed correctly in the modules.dep file and all the other modules files in the kernels /lib/modules directory. When u try to use modprobe maunally to load fglrx, u get something like "Fatal Error: cannot find module fglrx" (thats not it exactly, i'm not on that desktop at the moment so can't test it)
I should mention that amdconfig/aticonfig work just fine, so that isn't the issue, whether u use them or not.....also I tried the solutions at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu....22_after_boot and none of what they say there seems to be the problem
