Montblanc, thank you for the requested information. After checking into
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040 it has
become known that AMD is refusing to provide further support for the Quantal+
kernel and xorg stack for your HD4200 card. As well, our downstream maintainers
are also not willing to WORKAROUND this or provide downstream support outside
of AMD's, or those already previously set as noted in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040/comments/66
So, unfortunately, this bug report is at a standstill unless either the
Ubuntu maintainers are willing to provide out-of-scope support, or AMD
would resume their support of your card.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
fglrx drivers broken after upgrading to quantal with dual Mobility
Radeon HD 4200 Series & Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series cards
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I'm using a HP Pavilion G62-a014SL that switches between two ATI cards: a HD
4200 and a HD 5400. After upgrading from Precise to Quantal, the resolution is
very low, no compositing is available, Unity fails to load, no window
decorations are present and I just get the cursor, a wallpaper and desktop
icons.
I thought that since the Radeon HD 4xxx branch is now under the new driver
support model, I had to install fglrx-legacy drivers from ppa:makson96/fglrx
(even if my secondary card is in the original driver support model) which also
downgrades the X server, but it didn't work: I just got a black screen and Xorg
segmentation faults, no matter which xorg.conf is used (I tried with Quantal's
default and 'amdconfig --initial -f').
I'm using the open source ati drivers now, which suffer from overheating. I
can't get more that 30 minutes of uptime.
I also have the feeling that my system can't switch between the two VGA cards
(as in bug #1021024 ). That could explain the overheating that I'm experiencing
since forever (though with the open source ati drivers it's gotten even worse,
as I said before) or why fglrx is failing to detect my cards / load properly.
As you can see, switcheroo is enabled:
grep -i switcheroo /boot/config-3.5.0-18-generic
CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y
but I haven't got any /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo .
