Removing reference to (LP: #1068661) since it is not a confirmed duplicate

[Nick Andrik (andrikos)]

This patch fixes #1068404 and this is where its targeted.

The bug on http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624 refers to #1068661 which (although it may seem) it is not a confirmed duplicate

[penalvch (penalvch)]

The previously mentioned Review: Disapprove was assessed for a different bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661 . However, because the same branch was linked to two different bug reports, my intending Disapprove for only one report, flowed to both.

Review -> Abstain

upstream is right, and we shouldn't work around bugs in binary drivers

review: Disapprove

[Nick Andrik (andrikos)]

By using the mentioned patch we enable people to use hybrid intel/fglrx systems with no (at least from my point of view, correct me if I am wrong) disadvantage at all.

There are two official packages in the repositories, i.e. xserver-xorg-video-intel and fglrx(-updates), that make the intel/ATI hybrid systems completely unusable when the two of them are used together.

This issue has to be addressed one why or another:
- My proposal is to revert that specific xorg-intel commit (and use the patch at least in ubuntu, if upstream does not want to include it).
- If we decide not to do that, we should include a "Conflicts:" dependency in the packages, and warn/disallow people to use the fglrx driver when the xserver-xorg-video-intel is also used

In either case, something has to be done. This is a real problem and we cannot just ignore it, let people shoot themselves in the foot and blame ubuntu for fglrx drivers.

Just my 2¢
