Okay so I created a bug in Ubuntu to make radeonhd conflict with fglrx 
so they both can not be installed at the same time.

However I think I made a mistake.  I do not think fglrx is on the system.

   mpower@dodtsair:~/Desktop$ apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglx
   W: Unable to locate package xorg-driver-fglx
   E: No packages found
   mpower@dodtsair:~/Desktop$ locate fglrx
   /usr/share/app-install/desktop/fglrx-driver.desktop
   /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_fglrx-installer.py

Based on the Xorg log

   (II) LoadModule: "radeon"
   (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so
   (II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
           compiled for 1.6.4, module version = 6.12.99
           Module class: X.Org Video Driver
           ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0
   (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:

And yet even as I read the log I see:

   (II) LoadModule: "ati"
   (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so
   (II) Module ati: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
           compiled for 1.6.4, module version = 6.12.99
           Module class: X.Org Video Driver
           ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0

Is that bad, is that the fglrx driver, or is it dependent on the fglrx 
driver?
