This bug still affects oneiric. Tested on an Lenovo T500. Is particularly difficult for customers who have dual GPUs in their laptop, and want to switch between them (for power or power-savings), but also use the fglrx driver (not supporting switcheroo, only cold switch) for games/other 3D.

Same error messages as reported by Toni Ruottu above, problem is solved by removal of fglrx, which is an unworkable workaround, since it leaves the ATI driver unusable. On my system, the i915 card uses 10W less power than the Radeon, so on airplane flights, it's a big deal.
