Merge the multihead-1-0-0 branch into the trunk, with the exception of the
glide header files. The changes include: - Brian Paul's changes to the tdfx client-side 3D driver to make it dlopen() the correct glide library (Voodoo3 or Voodoo5). This allows both types of the glide library to co-exist, and allows Voodoo3/Voodoo5 cards to be mixed in multi-head configs. - DRM kernel driver changes to allow a driver to set up multiple instances (minor numbers), one for each card present that the driver supports. This is currently implemented and tested only for the tdfx DRM driver. - Add some missing missing <stdarg.h> includes. - Some log message cleanups. - Change the 2D tdfx driver to access VGA legacy registers via their PCI I/O space access points rather than their legacy addresses, and fix some problems with the way the VGA-related bits are initialised. Status: - With these changes, multi-head direct rendering works with multiple Voodoo3 and/or Voodoo5 cards. This has been tested with two PCI Voodoo3 cards and an AGP Voodoo5 card, and all permutations of those. Caveats: - Xinerama is not supported. If Xinerama is enabled, then direct rendering gets disabled. - The text mode on secondary screens will show junk after the X server exits. - On some hardware, starting the X server on multiple 3dfx cards will result in a hard lockup. One workaround is to enable APIC support in a uni-processor kernel, or use an SMP kernel.
