[Xorg-driver-geode] Desktop screen corruption

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Gaurav, please stop talking about the NSC driver. The NSC driver is
wrong for your hardware and we already told you so.

To fix your situation, you would need to backport the AMD driver
2.7.7.6 to the X.org 6.8 release you are using.
