fglrx drivers for ati hd4200 prevents x from starting

Hi! -

I am trying to install the proprietary fglrx driver for my integrated ati radeon 4200 HD graphics card. The system is kubuntu 10.10 32bit, everything is default except I have applied updates. I install the driver using the additional drivers tool, reboot, and then x refuses to start. I remove the fglrx driver, reboot, and everything is fine again. Looking at the output below my guess is there is a problem with the kernel module, but I have no idea how to go about fixing it. Any help getting it to work would be greatly appreciated!!

I've also tried installing it using the download from the ati/amd website, exact same behavior. I've tried running aticonfig --initial, x still will not start. While the driver is installed, if I delete the xorg.conf, x will start, however 2d acceleration does not work and if I try to display any type of opengl the application crashes and I get the kde crash handler app.

The machine can dual boot into windows7 where the graphics drivers work. I played a few 3d games to make sure. Opengl works with the "radeon" driver (albeit slowly). This is a HP Pavilion P6540F desktop with 8GB of memory and a quad core phenom II 2.8ghz processor.

I wonder if there is a bug with the ati driver, can I report that somewhere?

Debug output from when the fglrx drivers are installed:
