It is a radeon 8500, so i wanted to test DRI from XFree4.3 to see if support
was provided. Moreover, i also have some colors problems when watching TV in
overlay mode (wrong colors and other applications corruption).
The ATI driver is a mess to install, even for a short test. At least Nvidia
provide a decent tarball, while ATI ships a crappy rpm only.
