Things that need to happen to really fix this for Hardy:

1) make xserver-xorg-video-all stop depending on -amd and start depending on -geode.

2) import an updated Debian version of -nsc that removes conflicting PCI ID. What's in Intrepid cannot build as-is, because Hardy has an old dpkg-dev, so I modified this as per the package in my PPA.

3) import an updated Debian version of -geode that completely eliminates the symbolic links to amd_drv.so and amd.ids, and reintroduces the PCI ID for GX2 hardware. This must include a warning to users who are upgrading to update their static xorg.conf if they have one. Optionally, it could use the new 2.10.0 upstream which adds support for OLPC hardware, but this is not a must. I could recycle the packaging used there with a 2.9.0 release for Hardy.
