Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
I think there is some sort of undocumented conflict between the ati
driver above, and the closed source nvidia drivers. My current version
is 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2
My system previously had an nVidia 9600 graphics card in it when I
installed Ubuntu Januty. Today I replaced that card with an ATI x1650
graphics card. I expected it all to 'just work' (I have a laptop with
ATI x1600 and the accelarated 3D graphics work very nicely).
Instead I did not get any working 3D at all. glxinfo reported that 3D
was not supported. Even explicity adding Driver "ati" to the xorg.conf
file did not make it work.
I logged in via ssh as root and stopped gdm, then ran startx so that I could
see the messages go by. This is what I got.

(X windows started as root, but there was no 3D acceleration, I logged
out as soon as I tested that)
After seeing the errors about nvidia extensons not beeing avalable, I
decided to check for anything nvidia related that might be installed,
and remove it.

After removing all the nvidia related stuff, I tried startx again, and
this time accelerated 3D worked. Here is the output for comparison.
