Bug#509047: regression - ATI driver - video flicks on mouse over content

[Peter Tuhársky <tuharsky@banskabystrica.sk>]

Hm, I see the howto and it is quite unspecific and old. I'm bit afraid 
to experiment with my installation. I never SUCCESSFULLY rebuilded a 
package, and I don't understand the process enough to tweak the howto 
into functionality.

I'm even not sure, which steps are performed user-level, and which by root.
