 I didn't change the bge.c file at all.  I just changed the ID numbers  
 for 5714 in bge_ifreg.h to be those values in my original PR.  This  
 obviously disabled the original 5714, but apparently this 5780 chip  
 in the IBM needs the same special cases as the 5714.
 
 I'd just add the 5780 to the special cases you find for the 5714.   
 Now that I have a real name for this chip, I can attempt making a  
 real patch, unless you beat me to it.
