When deciding this, the argument should probably not focus too much on my 
(Joachim's) situation because now that I have this setting it is not a big 
deal to keep it. The case is much more serious for somebody who attempts to 
install Debian on a system that has this problem. In that case the X Window 
system will appear not to work and only an expert will be able to get it 
working.

This will probably depend on how widespread the problem is likely to be in 
the field. How many cheap Radeon cards are known to be affected by this?

Thanks,

Joachim
