@Gareth #65
I'm a developer too, and after all those years *I* don't care who's fault it is either, I feel just like ordinary user: 12.04 worked, 12.10 is crap (took me 4h on work day to revert to working X).

Installing packages from PPA didn't help me, I still get:
"(EE) this is a Muxless..."

My HW:
HP ProBook 4540s, Intel Core i5-2450M, AMD 7500M/7600M

here are steps I tried over time:

"dpkg --list|grep -e intel -e fglrx" output (sorry for shortening it, but I'm copying it by hand on second computer):
fglrx and xserver-xorg-video-intel installed from Andrik's PPA
libdrm-intel1:amd64 2.4.39-0ubuntu1 amd46
libdrm-intel1:i386 2.4.39-0ubuntu1 i386

tried to remove libgl11-mesa-dri, libdrm-intel1 (i386 variants only, as I figured out later :/, so invalid try anyway).
Still no graphics after reboot, only tty1

I tried to disable switchable graphics in BIOS, X will not start due to not finding any ATI device of course.

Removing xorg.conf (with ATI things defined) ... still tty1 (omg)
log X:
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfbdevhw.so
..
(EE) Backtrace:
(EE) 0: /usr/bin/X ...

reverting to official repository with video-intel:
- X works (GLX not: (EE) GLX error: Can not get required symbols.")

trying out Andrik's PPA version one more time:
X crashed again after loading libfbdevhw.so

.. so, the proposed packages from PPA don't work for me :/ ... any suggestions what should I try/report?
