Bug Description
Binary package hint: restricted-manager
dc = debconf.
r-m currently reverts to ati when fglrx is turned off. This is not always a true assumption -- on all X-series radeons, ati refuses to start, which would leave people with broken X.
So, we should either save the previous driver, or have logic detecting if it's an R350+ chipset that's not supported.
