No kernel updates, I just let harddrake install the propietary module
and it didn't work (it didn't recognize the card and fell back to vesa).
I then downloaded the catalyst driver from amd and used its installer
(which probably messed up the system but it seems to work, though it
doesn't come back after a suspend).
According to this page
<A HREF="http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/202-ubuntu-acer-ao722">http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/202-ubuntu-acer-ao722</A>
the free driver should also work (and should have no problem with
suspend/resume), but it needs mesa 7.11 while mageia has 7.10.
