I have a question about the license at the top of these new files. what should I put for the copyright? Some of the the code was written

what to I put for the top line? the one that looks like this:
/* $XFree86:

Accepted practice, as far as I can tell, is that when you take code from
one driver and adapt it into new files in another driver, you get to put
your copyright on it.  I've done this in the sis code, and VIA/S3 did it
in the Savage code which still has a lot of Matrox code #ifdeffed out
(or not, and just unused) in it.

Yep, this is fine.
