How can I easily switch between driver versions on Linux?

Using LKM functions (modprobe, rmmod, lsmod, etc) it is easy to install and change kernel-modules. I'd like to be able to easily switch between different versions of fglrx, so I can quickly test out a beta version for OpenCL-improvements, while not taking too many risks.

Does anybody have tried this out, or has clues how to do this? Ofcourse after "service lightdm stop" and all those basics about LKM - my question is about managing different versions of the driver, and hot-switching between them without rebooting the machine.
