Run glxgears and glxinfo, make sure your card is reporting.  Using fglrx, it should work.

Make sure you have the xvba drivers loaded too, that's the video codec acceleration.

mb@host:~$ apt-cache search xvba
xvba-va-driver - XvBA-based backend for VA API (AMD fglrx implementation)

Might have gotten purged with your video driver upgrade issues.

I tried starting XBMC and an information window appeared saying:

this suggests I uninstalled the driver because it WAS working. how did that happen? what
should I install?  I thought perhaps 'apt-get install opengl' but the
repository includes only opengl-4.2-html-doc and opengl-4.2-man-doc
which seems to be the documentation.

An inquiring mind wants to know.
