As documented here:

http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto

you must ensure that you have a current version of linux-restricted-modules
installed, corresponding to your kernel.  If you install the "linux-386" (or
linux-686, etc.) package, you will receive the latest kernel and associated
fglrx module.
