Bug Description

Installed 11.10 on a Vostro 3550 and got the 2D desktop. Jockey offered me two options for getting 3d. Install the fglrx driver, or the fglrx updates driver.

I used jockey to install flgrx and after restarting discovered tha t I still had no 3d environment. So next I tried to install fglrx_updates via jockey. This installation failed howevrer, with a message to check the errors in jockey.log.
