Comment 14 for bug 36316

Closed source fglrx is not installed automatically for any card currently. The restricted modules are there, yes, but not the xorg-driver-fglrx, and even installing xorg-driver-fglrx does not change Xorg.conf to use "fglrx" instead of "ati". The open source drivers work for most cards, including X300 - X850 series.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with the open source ati driver except for the fact that it would be nice if ATI would allow supporting these X1000-series cards. So putting "rejected" on the xserver-xorg-video-ati part.

I think the plans for feisty included allowing automatic use of a proprietary driver for the X1300 - X1950 series that have not even 2D support in the open source driver, so leaving discover1-data - ie. your wish might come true and the proprietary driver would be installed for your device without manual installation / Xorg.conf modifying.
