After upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 64 bit on my HP EliteBook 8530p with ATI HD 3650, I can confirm that fglrx 8.600 provided by Jaunty is not working.
The machine is hanging with Black Screen of Death.
The Xorg.0.log is not reporting anything useful. I was not able to catch any other message from the kernel.
Tryed even with previous kernel 2.6.27-11 from 8.10, same black screen of death.
Even tryed with fglrx 8.602 downloaded from ATI site and installed from sources following this guide:

With 8.10 the fglrx driver was working fine.

Bad thing unfortunately.

Cheers,
Luca
