regarding Unity not working after installing fglrx, the workaround is described in step 2 of the first message of this thread:

I tried that myself and now Unity works even when using the integrated GPU with fglrx installed.

Regarding the steps to install intel driver from Nick's page, I would recommend these steps:
1-go to
https://launchpad.net/~andrikos/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=quantal
and click on
xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.20.0-0~andrik1
2-download the xserver-xorg-video-intel packages appropriate for the architecture (xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.20.0-0~andrik1_amd64.deb for 64-bit systems, xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.20.0-0~andrik1_i386.deb for 32-bit systems)
3-open the terminal
4-go to the directory where the packages have been downloaded
5-run
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.20.0-0~andrik1_amd64.deb (for 64-bit systems)
or
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.20.0-0~andrik1_i386.deb (for 32-bit systems)

In my case, the intel driver was enough to make the fglrx and fglrx-updates drivers from quantal/restricted repository work.
