Well vga_switcheroo requires kernel based modesetting, so no go with the fglrx 
drivers here, I don't think the included radeon drivers in 10.04 already have 
that enabled, so basicly just don't mess with your working setup, ain't worth 
it.

You could also try ArchLinux, even if the general attitude of Arch isn't your 
cup of tea it's very nice for technical previews coming =)
