jockey installation of fglrx on precise not working

Asked by ThomasKL

Hi, i updated my 11.10 to 12.04 and i can' t get fglrx to work properly.
i tried jockey and manuel installation, removing everything and doing it again. But somehow it alwas ends up not working correctly.
my current Xorg. log contains

[ 2118.333] (EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized.
[ 2118.363] (EE) fglrx(0): XMM failed to open CMMQS connection.(EE) fglrx(0):
[ 2118.363] (EE) fglrx(0): XMM failed to initialize

which hints to the fact that the kernel module is missing

and jockey gives somthing like
