[Cooker] avivo open source driver for ATI X1xxx series cards added to Cooker - please test

[Adam Williamson]

I've just packaged and uploaded the new 'avivo' X.org driver into
Cooker. This is an open source driver for ATI r500 series chips - that's
the Radeon X1xxx series of cards (also a few FireGL and Mobility X2300
chips). It's currently under heavy development, but reviews indicate
that it's at least better than the 'vesa' driver we're currently using
as fallback for these cards when fglrx isn't available. The 'radeon'
driver does not support these cards and will not, avivo is The One True
Driver for the future for these cards.

I'm packaging blind here because I don't have one of these cards. I'd
like to move the driver to main and set ldetect-lst to use it as the
open source driver for these cards, but first I want to check if it
actually works =) So can anyone who has one of these cards please try it
out? All you should need to do is install the x11-driver-video-avivo
package from contrib and switch your driver in xorg.conf from 'fglrx' or
'vesa' or 'fbdev' or whatever to 'avivo'. Thanks!

Expected result would be decent 2D functionality - better than the vesa
or fbdev drivers. I don't expect anything much from 3D yet. fglrx is
still the *best* driver for these cards, but I want to have avivo
available as the free alternative.
