Actually - considering the audience of this email, this would be a great
time to ask for testers.  Debian/Ubuntu users on the XO can and should
pull the latest version of the xserver-xorg-video-amd driver and try it. 
Other distribution users who feel comfortable with building a fresh copy
a fresh copy of the xf86-video-amd driver please do so.

One known issue:  The screen saver isn't DCON aware, so your screen will
go very funky on you when DPMS turns on.  We're not aware of any other
issues, but thats why we're calling on you.

Thanks,
