Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
The standard "ati" driver should conflict with "fglrx".
I had a working Gutsy installation with an ATI Radeon 9250, where I had
first tried the fglrx driver, and later started using the ati driver,
which was all right. Upon upgrading to Hardy, I started experiencing X
crashes with GL applications, especially screensavers. Specifically, the
glsnake screensaver made X crash (and gdm restart it). glxinfo reported
a problem in a library (sorry, I did not note which one).
After investigation on the web, it turned out that some people had
similar problems with conflicting drivers for Nvidia cards, which they
solved by just uninstalling the unused xorg-video driver. So I purged
fglrx, reinstalled ati and the problem was solved.
I think this is enough reason to have ati kick out fglrx when it is
installed or upgraded.
