16 I already have broken composite (or rather, no composite at all) and
17 neither aiglx :D (4870 with x11-drivers/radeonhd). At least with this
18 one the card isn't frying itself (no power management with OSS drivers)
19 and I have OpenGL working (no 3D with OSS drivers).

22 blocking xorg-server, but the other way around; xorg-server is blocking
23 ati-drivers. :P
