Nope, that's incorrect.


Since fglrx for AMD64 is not in Debian, I suspect you've been using the 
ati.com installer? If so, check where it's put all its files - 
specifically, you want to know whether fglrx_drv.so has been places into 
/usr/lib/xorg or /usr/X11R6/lib. If it's the latter, then you have a big 
clean-up job to do.
