Hurra!!!

Well while i was trying to build the directfb stuff, i also kept working on
Xorg. Well finally i have it all....

DRI now works under Xorg, and i even have SATA driver up and running in the
kernel, after i installed hybrid of gentoo and debian and kernl.org
kernels :-)).

I will write a full report on linux on ACER travelmate 4151 once i get the
modem and wifi working again (the hybrid kernel is not (yet) configured for
those)

One disappointment though,.. although xine now can render fast it still can't
play dvds, ide driver is too slow and SATA driver doesn't (yet) support
ATAPI. Unfortunately this means i will have to wait till 2.6.13 or atleast
get the mm patchset once the libata-dev is finally put on for merging.

Actually 2.6.13-libata-dev is already posted on to lkml, i will try it
sometime but now now. I am still feeling very happy about almost all parts
working on my laptop..
