You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
fglrx-amdcccle : Depends: fglrx but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Reinstall is the best option then. Sorry.

Reinstall will be a better fix based on the roundabout problems encountered. You can configure your settings quickly because you've done that before, you know everything you need done. Don't install the new ATI drivers though.

edit: Good luck with the G/F.
