ati git head (radeon at least) is definitely not ready for release we
are in the midst of a major re-work of the output system, so I suspect
there will be some regressions until we get things fully baked.  The
recent mach64 changes require a newer libdrm which hasn't released
yet.  r128 hasn't really seen any changes since the last release,
although I do plan to fix up the output handling similar to radeon (or
perhaps merge with radeon) at some point.
