Public bug reported:
I have primary AMD FirePro GPU for graphics and a secondary headless
nVidia GTX 560Ti for OpenCL. In Ubuntu 12.04, it was possible to install
both nvidia-current and fglrx alongside, and after adjusting alternatves
for libGL.so, Xorg would happily use the first card, and nVidia was
available for OpenCL computations.
Since quantal, nvidia-current is conflicting with fglrx. While I can
imagine this is intentional (most users won't ever need to install
both), it is nevertheless a packaging bug.
Please provide at least a workaround on how to install both drivers
simultaneously.
Version informations attached automatically (I hope).
