Bug Description

Put simply, all Radeon HD 7xxx PCIE graphics cards and the new R7/R9 GPUs require glamor acceleration. Currently Precise installs Catalyst when it detects RadeonSI but this is not a good solution since A) the version of catalyst is outdated and B) it is full of bugs which are not present in the open source drivers.
