This version was uploaded later when there were enough people who tested 
it.

Ben, why did you not use this version when you started working on a l-r-m 
for 2.6.24? Those were all desired changes, especially the fgrlx not 
needing to divert libGL anymore -> users can choose to try out 
radeon/radeonhd if there's need. Also, the drivers should Provide 
xserver-xorg-video-2 now, otherwise they are uninstallable:
