not that it seems to matter. X seems to be doing a 'modprobe radeon'
when it sees anything ATI. Chopping the IDs out stops it being
initialised, but it appears that X does _something_ differently
just by having the module loaded even if its not using it.
I can keep them chopped out for the time being, but the downside is
we're not going to get a lot of coverage testing, so how will we know
when its 'good enough' ?
