May be helpful: I recently (as in 5 minutes ago) muddled through installing fglrx on a home-spun Karmic using the Lucid kernel. After initial installation, I found that X was terribly broken, flickering and near unusable.
I booted a LiveCD (aka the best tool EVER) and inspected my xorg.conf. No problems there. I traced the issue back to a blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d. Seems radeon likes to blacklist fglrx and fglrx likes to blacklist radeon, so I was running basically without a driver for a short time. I removed both blacklistings (#commented out), reinstalled fglrx driver from the latest download from ATI (10-3), then rebooted. This time I manually configured my xorg.conf to get rid of any reference to radeon, and Presto! Prior to all that miscellany, I had been getting similar errors to those you describe. I wish I had written down all of the individual steps I took, so that they could be repeated better, but I am new to debugging. Cheers!
