If you are able to completely uninstall fglrx* packages and you still get low graphics mode, then the problem is not on the fglrx package.
Are you sure you followed the instrauctions in my previous comment, rebooted and still getting low graphics mode? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1076872 Title: [HP Probook 4530s] Unity does not load with fglrx-installer in 12.10 AMD Radeon™ HD 6490M Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After installing fglrx-installer, upon reboot Unity did not load.
