The fix in precise-proposed works correctly on my laptop:
:~$ ls /var/log/upstart/ | grep amd
:~$ sudo initctl status amd-config
amd-config stop/waiting
:~$ cat /var/log/amd-xconfig.log
hybrid intel+amd: no need to do anything
:~$ apt-cache policy fglrx-pxpress
fglrx-pxpress:

Title:
Process keeps writing to the log
Status in “fglrx-pxpress” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “fglrx-pxpress” source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
SRU request:
Please accept fglrx-pxpress 0.6~hybrid0.0.2 in precise-proposed.
[Rationale]
Because of a regression in 0.6~hybrid0.0.1, the amd-config upstart job gets
stuck, and, as a result, /var/log/upstart/amd-config.log keeps growing
indefinitely
[Impact]
fglrx-pxpress is installed by jockey only on systems with hybrid graphics.
This issue can make a system very slow and can also cause it to run out of
space.
[Test case]
1) Remove the old log:
sudo rm /var/log/upstart/amd-config.log
2) Install fglrx-pxpress 0.6~hybrid0.0.2 on a hybrid system
3) Boot the system
4) see if /var/log/upstart/amd-config.log is created (it shouldn't be)
5) check that /var/log/amd-xconfig.log exists
6) make sure that the upstart is not running any more by typing:
sudo initctl status amd-config
The correct output is "amd-config stop/waiting".
