Does not work. The "ATI Driver Installer" from
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html checks for
the Xorg version, and refuses if the version is higher than 7.3... which
is weird because the website says "Drivers for X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0,
7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4".

  # XOrg 7.2 or lower has not been detected, try to detect XOrg 7.3
