I also wish to comment that I found it very confusing to hear "make sure you're 
using 8-11 from intrepid-proposed" when the version number for the ubutnu 
package is 8.552-0 and reported by the video driver in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is 
8.55.2
> (II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.55.2

I attempted both "http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-proposed/restricted
xorg-driver-fglrx 2:8.552-0ubuntu0.1" and also "ati-driver-
installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run" (dated Nov 12 2008) which I found at
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html .  The
version number reported by this *.run package is also v8.552

For what it's worth, I attempted to use the 'ati' video driver wrapper
after installing each version of the proprietary driver, and the 'ati'
video driver wrapper correctly used the 'radeon' driver instead of the
unfunctional 'fglrx' driver, so we got that part right.  I had to set
"Driver fglrx" in the "Section Device" area of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to
force it to attempt using the fglrx driver.
