Since we're now pretty sure that the AMD driver isn't doing anything
silly, I have committed two patches to fix the segfault issue for both
GX and LX.  For everybody that isn't using GSW, you should be able to 
use -configure without fear now.

I also have a patch to add a "NoDDC" option for those with GSW that 
want to get back to working, but I want to test it first.

Maintainers - please test and spin new packages as soon as you can.
