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. After investigation, it turned out that ati and fglrx libraries conflicted. 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.

If you think that this should be reported as a separate bug, please let me know and I will.
