This bug also affects Dell Inspiron 15R laptops (Ubuntu Certified
Hardware for 12.04) when updated to 13.04. The machine winds up at a
text-only console, so the user experience is rather poor.

Latest Beta drivers from AMD + explicitly installing the qauntal
libudev0 and xserver-xorg-video-intel brings the machine up correctly
(as in http://askubuntu.com/questions/205112/how-do-i-get-amd-intel-
hybrid-graphics-drivers-working/288355#288355).

Would it be reasonable to declare a dependency on those explicit
versions of the conflicting packages in the fglrx-installer package?
Having people's laptops that have a very common hardware configuration
(dual mode AMD/Intel graphics) turn console-only on upgrade seems a bit
problematic.

Alternately, running "amdconfig --px-igpu" if the condition is detected
(lspci has both Intel and AMD VGA drivers and the newer xorg-server-
intel and libudev0 packages are installed) might be a workaround,
preferably with a user-visible warning of some type.
