Comment 26 for bug 429251

I wonder if it's possible to ship both xf86-video-ati-6.12.4-3 and current 6.13.0-1, and then use probe to see if the graphics card is on a blacklist-with-xf86-video-ati-6.13.0 list? If it matches, the load 6.12.4-3 instead. Alternatively, maybe we could link Jockey into the update-alternatives framework, jockey detects the blacklisted card, and notifies the user. The user clicks a few buttons, and *bam*, Ubuntu 10.04 finally starts to deliver some LTS quality.

On the other hand, shouldn't we be able to easily inherit Debian Squeeze's fix for this, if it exists? Would rebuilding Debian's 6.13.1 package suffice?
