Aha: jockey-gtk launches the prop.driver activation. I didn't know that.
Thanks.
The relevant jockey file is probably
/usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.py . That file contains the relevant
key words 'fglrx' and 'glx'. And it does *not* contain a
Screen-Default-Depth-24 line: exactly the behaviour
Composite 0 is a hold over from the old fglrx versions that didn't
support AIGLX.
I think jockey wasn't named jockey in Gutsy. It was the Restricted
Drivers Manager.

Good news:
I've added the line
self.xorg_conf.getSections('Screen')[0].defaultdepth = 24 to
/usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.py (included), compiled the .py to
.pyc, and now 'sudo jockey-gtk' adds the needed line Defaultdepth
24. So: it works!
I think I will also remove the annoying Composite 0
and here's the compiled /usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.pyc

This must be the ultimate fglrx.py:
1) Defaultdepth24 is added to the Screen-Section of xorg.conf
AND
2) the unnecessary and unwanted Composite 0 option is not put into xorg.conf
in order to enable Compiz
To compile the .py to .pyc, I did this (note the working directory, and

making the edits to my xorg.conf seems to have done it. Compiz works
well and all.

Good news: I found the solution:
Just add Defaultdepth24 to the the part Section Screen of the
xorg.conf generated by Ubuntu for the ATI / fglrx config, and everything
works!
So, in xorg.conf generated for fglrx, change
Section Screen
Identifier Default Screen
Monitor
I had a futher look at dexconf:
Ubuntu 7.10's dexconf does write a DefaultDepth line, with value
$DISPLAY_DEFAULT_DEPTH
In Ubuntu 8.04's dexconf, that line is gone. Well, there *is* a line
DefaultDepth24, but it's only written if $QEMU_KVM is true, so within
QEMU VM's. Not for fglrx.
So,
That's why I included Jockey in the bug, I thought maybe it was altering
the xorg.conf.

After I use the 'Hardware Drivers' dialog to enable the fglrx driver, it
asks to reboot. After the system starts, and is unviewable, the above is
the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log vesa module or not.
However, the Xorg.0.log.old file seems to contain the fglrx info. It is
attached.

it still shows the vesa driver..

Please attach the logfile that you get when trying to load fglrx. The
one you attached is from the failsafe session which uses vesa.

I cannot get that log as the system is unresponsive when fglrx loads. I
pulled this logfile by starting into safemode and dropping to a command
prompt before Xorg loaded. I thought this would yield the log from my
last boot which was into the unresponsive system. Let me know how to get
you the
OK, system is responsive, I just can't see anything. I got ssh working
(which I though I had already installed previously). Attached is the
correct Xorg.0.log
