Xorg log when unsupported muxless platform is reported

Bug already reported to AMD, but since it seems to involve Intel driver,
I thought it might be a good idea to report here as well.

Actually two similar bugs have been reported to AMD :
http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634 (reported by me)
http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580

I am the owner of an ACER Aspire TimelineX 3820 TG featuring a core i5-480M +
Radeon HD6550M.
Configuration (32 bits ONLY installation) :
- kernel 3.4.14
- glibc 2.14.1
- gcc 4.6.1
- Xorg 7.7 with xorg-server 1.12.1 / xf86-video-intel 2.20.10
- Slim 1.3.2
- fglrx 12.10 or 12.11 beta

X works fine with :
- the dGPU only ("discrete" selected in the bios)
- the IGP only ("switchable" selected in the bios and dGPU NOT declared in the
ServerLayout section).

X crashes at startup when :
- "switchable graphics" is selected in the bios
- only the dGPU is declared in the ServerLayout :

There is nothing I can do about this since fglrx plays tricks with the
intel hardware without knowledge of the driver.

I thought so... But wanted to report anyway.
I added a comment to my bug report in AMD's bugzilla referencing this one.
'hope this will help.

Thanks a lot for the quality of your driver.

Chris, can you take a look on the workaround proposed on my comment #44 in this 
bug report?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1068404

If you revert (or "debug") the mentioned patch then the driver works for
intel/ati systems.
