** Description changed:

  Testing Oneiric Alpha 3 on an Insprion 1122 with an ATI video card.  I
  had issues with screen corruption when connecting an external display
  using the OSS driver, so I opened Jockey and tried using the Proprietary
  driver instead.
  
  This was even worse, however, because I was almost unable to use the
  system while the proprietary driver was loaded.  I had to drop to a
  shell and use jockey-text to remove it before I could use the system
  again.
  
- So, the proprietary driver that Jockey is suggesting for ATI cards in
- Oneiric Alpha 3 breask the system.  The driver needs to be fixed, or
- blacklisted from Jockey so that users don't end up with an unusable
- Oneiric system.
