Can't uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx
I'm trying to uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx.
However, when using either the Synaptic GUI or with aptitude on the command line, I get an error message:

Re: Can't uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx
Oh hey look.
Manually deleting the /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager.ubuntu fixes it, although it probably erased my settings. Oh well.
