    ATI drivers (fglrx) won't work with an Intel GPU. Is there a discrete ATI GPU?

    fanderal is correct - you have an intel chip which uses the i915/intel driver. Get rid of all traces of fglrx
    Code:
    aptitude purge ~nfglrx
    sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
    Make sure the mesa stuff is installed.

    Code:
    aptitude install libgl1-mesa-dri mesa-utils
    Kill the x server first and then reinstall xserver-xorg-core just in case (fglrx used to overwrite parts of it - I think that's changed in testing/unstable, not sure about stable)

    Code:
    aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg-core
    Restart X and check it's working

    Code:
    glxinfo | grep render
