Bug#481529: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: (strange?) workaround for video not synced

[Dimitri Chausson]

Yes, glxinfo is now reporting that direct rendering is enabled. The messages (freeing invalid ..) are still there though.

To sum up: 
* the option make the screen readable for me (removes this sync problems)
* installing the firmware allows DRI to be enabled
