Fglrx left lint on my Squeeze box!
Howdie, fellow Debianites!
Upon installing Squeeze weeks ago I made a dumb mistake of trying to
set up the #@%&! fglrx driver. I then set up the free radeon driver and
am very satisfied with it. However, the attempted fglrx install seems
to have left some spurious files scattered over my system. Just take a
look at the output of "locate fglrx":

This happened despite the fact that I've since thoroughly uninstalled
-- in fact, purged -- the fglrx packages. Will these leftovers
interfere with my system, now perfectly running radeon, in any way?
Specifically, what do you make of those symlinks under /etc/rcx.d/ ?
Will they slow down my boots perceptibly?
