Is it a good idea to file a bug for the below seperately?

" I knew that my card was no longer supported by fglrx in 9.04. However, I went 
ahead and tried to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04a6 anyway to see what would happen 
(it was not on my main computer). The installer correctly identified that my 
card was not supported by the new fglrx driver. I assumed (incorrectly!) that 
it would therefore disable the fglrx driver whilst doing the upgrade and went 
ahead. This left me with an unbootable computer (in graphics mode) until I ran 
some command line voodoo.

Can I suggest that as a minimum that if the installer detects an
unsupported card and fglrx is being used, it refuses to go ahead with
the upgrade until the user has switched back to the ati driver.
Preferably the installer would do this.

Not being a dev, I don't how easy or possible this is, but is would save
a lot of broken upgrades. "
