%sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial writes a xorg.conf which uses
xorg.conf keywords in "text" fields searched by function

cards_n,
unsigned int vendor_id, char *driver)
In line 1072 of gpu-manager.c
"Driver" keyword is found from following lines xorg.conf written by aticonfig

}
Looks the xorg keyword "Driver" anywhere in the line and finds "ATI
Proprietary Driver", but of course does not find correct drivername "fglrx"
from the same line => Keywords should be searched from the beginning of the
line, not all over.
Second issue in same function the format "PCI:%d@%d:%d:%d" which is
different to format "PCI:%d:%d:%d" used by aticonfig, which causes
misdetection of correct BusID in xorg.conf
If routine "check_vendor_bus_id_xorg_conf()" reports "Check failed"
completely valid xorg.conf is overwritten by gpu-manager.c in boot.
Quick workaround for users is to correct the xorg.conf after installation of
ATI Catalyst proprietary drivers taking these into account.

Se hace obligatorio, pero esto no es satisfactorio:
$ aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all --od-gettemperature
Al hacer:
$ sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
Pero esto tampoco es satisfactorio.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1299002] Re: gpu-manager xorg.conf inconsistency with AMD Catalyst (fglrx)
After complete system reinstall, and selecting fglrx from Driver Manager
(instead of manually installing from http://support.amd.com/en-
us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64) I have no problems. No need for
manual install.
Still keyword search in gnu-manager SHOULD search label "Driver" from
beginning of the line... => the bug is not critical.
