[Bug 570373] Re: Scanning broken with Epson RX585

@dirken You are indeed supposed to see "ATI Technologies" reported by fglrxinfo and glxinfo. The "DRI R300 Project" that you're seeing may indicate you are somehow still loading the open source ATI driver, since that is what I see reported by glxinfo, and I am only using xserver-xorg-video-ati,
