Public bug reported:

so I have a W500 with both an intel and ati video card (switchable
graphics).

it works with the ATI driver in Windows, but it doesn't work with fglrx
in Linux.  This is in Karmic.

relevant lspci

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650

though in truth its advertised as a FireGL v5700

when I install fglrx, it fails to find the pci id (I believe, don't have
hte logs handy), but worse fails really badly if one doesn't boot to
console, as it makes the console unusable (can switch to one and reboot,
but can't see anything)
