Hopefully these is the last versions. They implement:
1) add every know PCI ID
2) access ROM directly instead of relying on copy in
low RAM. This allows multiple cards. Required
MPP_TB_CONFIG fix in driver.
3) implemented kernel 2.6 module parameters
4) Cleaned up error paths and made sure resources are
released on errors. Both build without compiler
warnings now. You can ins/rm mod multiple times
without problem. Just don't do it from a window in
your X server.
5) Driver marks both primary and secondary devices as
being in use.

These drivers are bigger than the old ones but that's
because I added descriptions for the parameters and a
bunch more error messages. Code is probably smaller.
Strip the strings and remove unneeded entries from the
device table for embedded systems.

I don't own Apple hardware. Anyone want to make sure I
didn't break Powerbooks?

It would be nice if someone with Radeon documentation
verified my chip IDs and family classifications. It is
important that secondary devices are marked correctly
in the driver. I did the best I could from Xfree
source and PCI databases.

Patches are against the current 2.6 kernel tree.
Anyone want to volunteer to get these into the kernel?
