Public bug reported:

In Jockey's user interfaces(jockey-gtk/kde), we use vendor-name "ATI" (for 
FGLRX), 
But that is obsolete/enthusiast's term.

Now, Many users know that vendor as "AMD". 
"ATI" is forgotten by the many users... (Woe is me.).

So, It's very regretful that, we should use "AMD"(or "AMD(ATI)")
instead of "ATI" .

[Backgrounds]
- AMD / ATI acquisition at 2006, that 5 years-old.

- AMD, Inc. has dissolved the ATI brand for GPU product name. Any {shop, vendor 
catalogue, spec sheets} use "AMD" brand.

- The new brand of AMD GPUs does not use any "ATi" words  (e.g.:  "AMD
Fusion" )
