  Blacklist old fglrx driver

Bug description:
  The old version of the fglrx driver is known not to work with Unity
  (and Compiz particularly) because it forces itself to run in indirect
  rendering mode.

  It needs to be blacklisted in the detection module, to avoid running
  Unity in this context, but still allow the *new* fglrx to run. By new,
  I refer to driver vers. 2:8.840-0ubuntu1 or newer.
