Should be able to get rid of them by executing the following as root, or
after "su -":

# rpm -e ati-fglrx  kernel-module-fglrx

Look in /etc/X11 and see if a backup of xorg.conf was created, or
possibly if a new version was created as xorg.conf.rpmnew, leaving the
original in place.  May need to move the backup back to xorg.conf, or
put the new one in place as xorg.conf and try again, without erasing the
new rpms as instructed above.

If still confused, post what you find in the way of /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
files.
