From the blessed page:

IMPORTANT: You have to recompile the kernel module after each kernel update!

Credo che basti ripetere la compilazione:

sudo module-assistant prepare
sudo module-assistant update
sudo module-assistant build fglrx
sudo module-assistant install fglrx
sudo depmod -a

Oppure installa i binari dal restricted manager (sono giá compilati con il nuovo kernel).

Come fai ad avere 3 xorg.conf? Di xorg.conf ce ne puó essere solo uno, verifica solo che ci sia tutto quello che serve per fglrx.
