Sorry for delay in answer, using "just-cheap-from-18h-to-8h" Internet
connection at home.

Chad: Don't know for sure.

The graphics card seems to be detected by the X server as a mobility
one, though when I bought the card there was no "Mobility" label
anywhere in the box (it's a plain AGP card with the usual VGA, DVI and
TV-out connectors). Command lspci -vnn shows the "Mobility" tag too.
Maybe they associate the 9xxx chip series with mobility for some reason,
or the PCI address range used by the card, or that it's AGP, or a mix of
those.

Travis: Damn jockey thing!! (just joking :-) ).

I thought the card was being blacklisted because of the chip and PCI
address, and also because the "Mobility" string was detected (so the PC
was mistaken as a laptop).

So if the urge of installing the blob driver is from jockey, what do I
do? Should I fill a bug asking that jockey does not do that for the card
as it works ok with the free driver? (First I will search for similar
bugs, if I find it already filled I'll add a comment on it).
