Ubuntu Natty system
Jockey version 0.9.2-0ubuntu5

Using Jockey on an Intel CPU, Intel UMA, AMD discrete (MUX-less)
graphics system, Jockey offers the fglrx driver, will install it, but
does not properly enable it.  The xorg.conf created is attached - which
doesn't mention fglrx.  Systems with the same AMD device in a simple
discrete config there is no issue.  I expect Jockey is getting confused
by the presence of the Intel graphics device.

Note it is a good thing it fails!  This is a MUX-less system, for which
the AMD graphics device won't work.  If it succeeded, the graphics would
fail on reboot.  So there appropriate way forward may /not/ be to 'fix'
the xorg.conf generation.

** Affects: jockey (Ubuntu)
