Well, I posted this on the Ubuntu Forums, but I haven't gotten a response yet, so I figured I'd give the tried and true forums that I'm so used to a go and see how many Linux gurus we have here that may be able to help me out

Here's the post, if you need anything else, let me know. Thanks.

Well, I've been googling, searching the Ubuntu forums, trying everything I could find to get this to work. Now, after all these tries, I think I may have jacked things up, but not certain. I'm not a COMPLETE n00b to Linux, but I'm more familiar with Windows and Unix than I am with Linux, so things are a little bit testing for me.
First, let me give you my system setup, then I'll get into the details of what I'm trying to accomplish and such. Thanks.
Intel C2D E6600
HIS ATI X1950 Pro Extreme 512MB PCI-E
2GB OCZ DDR2 800 RAM (will be 6GB once I resolve the driver issue, as I don't want to cross more than 1 hurdle at a time )
MSI 975X Platinum Power-up Edition Motherboard
Hanns-G JW199DPB 19" Widescreen Monitor
Ubuntu 7.10 64-Bit OS
Ok, here's what I'm trying to do. I was initially able to get 3D rendering working with installing the latest ATI drivers. The problem was that I had zero widescreen support, which I need/prefer for some of my applications. So, I started researching things a bit more and found that the latest ATI drivers have problems with widescreen, but the prior version doesn't (7.11). No biggie, I just uninstalled those then installed the 7.11 drivers from the ATI website. Well, that gave me widescreen, but no 3D support. Now I can even run any of my applications that require 3D rendering as I have no 3D rendering capabilities.
I've tried completely removing all FGLRX packages installed and then trying to reinstall the generic Ubuntu ones, but that isn't even working right anymore. I think something is lingering around and I don't know exactly how to clear everything away that has been previously installed so that I can start from scratch, again (without reinstalling Ubuntu, ofcourse).
Now, I'd like to avoid an OS reinstall as I like troubleshooting rather than just reformatting, so anything you need, just let me know. I've gone into Synaptic and tried removing the packages that way as well, and I don't think that removes everything either. Please let me know any suggestions ya'll have for getting my system back to scratch when it comes to the ATI drivers so that I can install the 7.11 drivers from scratch (with no traces of any other drivers) and get Widescreen AND 3D rendering capabilities at the same time.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you are able to provide me.
