The fglrx-installer code should keep track of the version of xorg-server
and kernel that the binary driver is compatible with and refuse to
install if it notices a too-new version of either of these.  This is
because it's more common than not that newer versions include changes
which break the proprietary driver.

** Summary changed:

- Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in FatalError() after enabling proprietary ATI driver
+ Jockey should not offer -fglrx until it is available in the development version
