Hmmm, I tried this build and it doesn't work for me.

It seems to want to, but I just see lines down the screen and a large
square enmeshed in the screen where the cursor should be.

Yes, I know I shouldn't be using radeonhd and that radeon is the 'one
true driver' but radeonhd has had some interesting power management
added to it and as a laptop user I'm keen to see if they extend my
(slowly) improving battery life and I'm also aware the pm in radeon
isn't great (or might be missing all together).

So, this shouldn't be rolled out as far as I'm concerned, but how do I
say so?
