Things that need to happen to really fix this for Hardy:

1) make xserver-xorg-video-all stop depending on -amd and start
depending on -geode.

2) import an updated Debian version of -nsc that removes conflicting PCI
ID. What's in Intrepid cannot build as-is, because Hardy has an old
dpkg-dev, so I modified this as per the package in my PPA.

3) import an updated Debian version of -geode that completely eliminates
the symbolic links to amd_drv.so and amd.ids, and reintroduces the PCI
ID for GX2 hardware. This must include a warning to users who are
upgrading to update their static xorg.conf if they have one. Optionally,
it could use the new 2.10.0 upstream which adds support for OLPC
hardware, but this is not a must. I could recycle the packaging used
there with a 2.9.0 release for Hardy.
