The more users we can get to confirm something, the more we can narrow
it down to a chipset version intersecting a certain card and not a
one-off hw problem or "other" misconfiguration...
It's unfortuanate but we try to tackle the main bugs that we can in
the time we have, but the time it takes to remotely track/fix problems
is quite extreme.. normally involves running fglrx and dumping loads
of registers when it runs... then comparing pages and pages of
registers..
