Public bug reported:
fglrx driver are installed as a module in kernel 2.6.aa-bb
if a new kernel 2.6.aa-cc or 2.6.dd-ee is installed, the system goes
throught a reinstallation of the driver and everything works fine.
If an update is made with a kernel having same version number 2.6.aa-bb,
no new installation of the module is made and fglrx driver do not works
anymore.
Manual reinstallation of the fglrx package solves the problem, but it
would be better to do it automatically.
The same problem exists in 64 architectures.
