My computer uses a Radeon HD 6950. I installed the "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver" just fine, however, when I tried to install the "post-release updates", I received an error ("Sorry, installation of this driver failed.") The log dump:

When I restart, I find the original FGLRX is uninstalled, but I can reinstall fine. I have been using just the original (no updates) just fine.
However, I have been experiencing the same Chrome lag as this question.
Is it related to my driver?
