[ubuntu-x] Patched -ati debs for testing

[Miguel Martinez]

Thanks a lot for the debs, Bryce. I really appreciate those. Browsing the 
git changelog at freedesktop makes you realise how much love these drivers 
have recieved since ATi published the specs. Now let's wait for the code 
sample, and let's hope it's as good as some hope. I'll try these debs and 
look bugs for fixes and regressions. Finally, someone will have to thank 
Alex next time, he's doing an awesome job!
