Try the following commands:

sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf

(and select the alternative provided by fglrx)

sudo ldconfig
sudo update-initramfs -u

Then attach the output of the following commands:

update-alternatives --display gl_conf
ldconfig -p | grep GL

If all goes well, a system restart will be required.
