Couldn't dpkg-divert be used to make the current libGL.so selectable in
a sane way until a more complete solution is found?
For the records, this is still a problem in precise 12.04 LTS.

Here is a use case that I hope can change the status of this report from
Opinion to New/Confirmed.
The fglrx package is needed if one wants to use the AMD CodeXL tool, an
OpenGL/OpenCL development tool from AMD. The CodeXL tool can work with
offline devices, i.e. without having an AMD GPU in the

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.
Additionally, I tried to script an if [ `lspci |grep -c Intel` -gt 0 ];
then ... to change the links between fgrlx and mesa, based on what I
had chosen in the bios at boot time, but don't see a difference between
the filesets that I can affect...
dpkg -S *libGL* intel-libGL.txt

Had to remove this package to make GLX work for me again with Intel
card. I also had to remove nvidia-current, nvidia-settings, and nvidia-
common, as that was also taking over just like this package is.

I tried installing the restricted driver for my ATI card on Lucid, and
then switching to Intel at boot time. The system was not able to bootup
until I removed the fglrx package.

Hi Toni,
This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?
Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of
Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through

Did you know there is a bug for not being able to switch graphics card on the
fly.

I do understand that getting that feature will take some time. However,
it is ridiculous that Windows users can switch their graphics card on
the
My bottom line is. It should atleast be possible to make video cards
work by switching the actual hardware or by toggling it from bios. I'm
ok with asking the user to install another driver when the new card is
detected. I'm not ok with asking the user remove one driver to make
another card work.
Having fglrx installed replaces the open-source libGL with ATI's libGL,
so you can't have both at once.
