ATI Graphics Card won't work, DKMS has too many propretary fglrx drivers

[deathromantik]

I tried upgrading an AMD dualcore CPU, ATI GFX (4xxxxHD and Manhattan 5xxxxHD dual card) KDE4-FM laptop to the latest pclos64.bfs kernel from the standard install bfs kernel.
DKMS comes up with a "too many fglrx drives don't know what to do" error. I have tried things in various threads but they just got the open scource drivers to work, I have no 3D and KDE wants to remove and forget the HDMI and HD audio devices.
I have also noticed that XFdrake no longer has a "test" button.
I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the proprietary drivers, dkms and X11, followed by running XFdrake. Upon reboot I get stuck on a "Detecting new hardware" I left it running for an hour and nothing.

I think that it maybe because I foolishly installed the ATI drivers from the ATI website as well as from the repo. I can't find the website version to get rid of it.
I had not used a computer with a 3d card before.

There is a driver conflict. First, you must delete the drivers from the ATI site. There should be an uninstall script in an ATI directory, but I can't remember exactly where it is located. Use only the dkms driver from the Pclos repo. You may have to uninstall this, too, then reinstall. That ought to solve your problem.

It ended up being easier to re-install. Came to the realisation that the 64kernel for now is not working on the hardware right now as even on the new install graphics would fail no matter what I did.
Graphics work ok but for some reason XFdrake reports that 3d accelerated graphics are not on. Desktop effects work and translucency does too.

Same issue here... glxinfo returns yes, kde says no... kinfocenter says unknown....
