They both divert libGL.so, so no, they can't really work
together in any
meaningful way. I had tossed around the idea at one point
of writing a
libGL wrapper that could at least allow us to avoid
diverting it, but it
still wouldn't let you use both fglrx and nvidia together,
as
applications would have no way of specifying which libGL
they wanted to
write to.
(Okay, I suppose if the wrapper was Xinerama-aware and other
fancy
things, and could throw calls for one card to one libGL and
calls for
another to the other, it could perhaps work, but this all
just sounds
very sick, twisted, and utterly wrong... If you really want
them to be
able to work together, encourage NVIDIA and ATI to work with
the
Xorg/mesa folk on unifying libGL instead of providing their
own)

This isn't actually true. nvidia-glx depends on
nvidia-kernel-1.0.8774,
which is provided by all the various LRM packages. If you
install
nvidia-glx without having an LRM installed, apt will try to
pull in
-386, because it's the first alphabetically, but if -generic
is already
installed this definitely doesn't happen:
(base)adconrad cthulhu:~$ dpkg -l
linux-restricted-modules* | grep ^i |
awk '{print $2}'
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-9-generic
linux-restricted-modules-common
linux-restricted-modules-generic
(base)adconradcthulhu:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
