This bug also effects me. The workaround described in comment #13
worked for me.

Title:
fglrx-installer 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 fails with some legacy devices
(Radeon HD 2000 3000 4000)
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
[Updated description]
Update of the fglrx-driver (version 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 on 2014-02-03)
brought by update-manager (through ubuntu-updates repos) on Precise doesn't
work on some legacy devices.
The main symptom is the fallback to unity-2D.
This bug seems target only Precise with no LTS Enablement Stack activated, in
other words with Linux 3.2.x and XServer 7.6.
== please : confirm or infirm using:
uname -rm
apt-cache policy xserver-xorg
It may be in relation with #1058040, about non-support for Radeon [Mobility]
HD 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx on Ubuntu 12.10 and higher.

3) I expected that the driver :
- set up
- work
4) It did'nt work :
- Ubuntu was very slow
- Unity fall in Unity-2d mode
- when I taped CTRL+SUPER, desktops appears blue
- fglrx-amdcccle failed
- fans were turning at a high speed
- lots of warning messages as described bellow
5) Workaround
I had to downgrade manually the driver to the old 8.960, which works without
problem.
You could do it using Synaptics our using the CLI
I tried to do an apt-get remove fglrx fglrx-amdcccle but apt-get gaves me
fglrx-updates in replacement , with the same issues. I experimented
fglrx-update some months (a year?) ago with similar problems, but at that time
it was a conscient experimentation.
The 13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 could maybe stay in fglrx-updates, and no fglrx ?
