OK, onward and upward... I'm starting to investigate what it would take
to merge the GATOS functionality into the current DRI. I'm sure the
XFree side is going to be a pain in the ass, but I'm starting with the
kernel modules.

The first discrepancy I need cleared up is about driver support. The
current DRI source seems to have drivers for:
i810,i830,mga,r128,radeon,sis,tdfx

Some are split between multiple files, some are in a single file.
If there's a document somewhere saying what files have what, then it'd
help to see it.

The kernel copy also has a 'ffb' driver, which I'm assuming until
someone tells me otherwise is an out of date hack.

The Gatos copy has the same drivers as the DRI source, but all split
amongst many files. I have a feeling the gamma and SIS drivers in this
copy are screwed totally anyway - in fact probably only the radeon and
r128 drivers from Gatos are relevant anyway, plus any changes in the
drm_* files.

So, to summarize, I need to know *roughly* what's changed since the
Gatos folks forked, in terms of what-moved-where and an idea of any
structural changes. I can read the different sources and figure out the
code changes myself, but I need to know what I'm looking for.

It would seem the best approach is to merge their changes -
conceptually, one by one - into the current DRI sources.
