I'm also adding a task against jockey for this issue, because however
fglrx-installer is made to refuse to install when it sees versions of
xserver and linux that it can't support, jockey should also respect this
and not show the driver as available for the hardware.

Possibly, a simpler solution would be to leave fglrx-installer as is,
and just manually disable/enable fglrx in jockey each release.  As long
as someone always remembers to do this going forward, it'd be an
acceptable solution.  But making it automatically detect would be nice
as then (in theory) no one would have to remember to do this step.
Also, it would be resilient against the user installing a newer kernel
or xserver since these are now pretty easily available via PPAs now.

should not offer -fglrx until it is available in the development version
