I removed that from xorg-server 1.9, simply because it's unmaintainable
that way. I can't remember each and every driver that doesn't work with
a new xorg-server version, and I don't have all the hardware to try that
either.
When we dropped catalyst, we added a versioned conflict on the released
driver at that time. That appeared to work fine... until AMD released a
newer version that STILL doesn't support the new Xorg server. The same
thing will happen with Nvidia if we start doing that.
