Not sure if this is exactly what I'm seeing but on hybrid-gpu systems
(intel+fglrx), there are situations, where having fglrx loaded without
actually being used by X is something one could want.

Power management for example.. without fglrx, the fan of a HP Pavilion
dv7 laptop won't stop. With fglrx, the laptop in question is quiet:

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 6740

$ lsmod | egrep 'fglrx|i915'
i915                  451068  2 
drm_kms_helper         40745  1 i915
fglrx                2434640  0 
drm                   184164  3 i915,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit           13184  1 i915
video                  18951  1 i915
