My bottom line is. It should atleast be possible to make video cards work by switching the actual hardware or by toggling it from bios. I'm ok with asking the user to install another driver when the new card is detected. I'm not ok with asking the user remove one driver to make another card work.

Errors with my Intel card might have been different from this bug. However, I got rid of them by removing restricted ATI driver packages. So, in case some of you have restricted driver packages installed for other video cards, I'd try removing them for a while, and reporting back, if this fixed the

So what does a previously installed system do differently from a system booted from the livecd? Is it that the installation would detect the video hardware and do something special based on that? Are some driver left out, if the video card doesn't seem to be present? -- glxgears fails in Karmic

The confusion is my fault. At some point I just noticed I had been testing on multiple systems. After that I wanted to find out whether or not the bug was video card specific.
