ATI on FreeBSD! FireGL Linux Driver Port

[Chris Gilbert]

Sounds good!

Also, make sure to add a couple of xorg.conf lines in regards to this as 
explained in the README.

By default, it will try to involve Xv with its GL bits and fail, therefore not 
exposing proper Xv acceleration. (xvinfo will report no available adapters)

By adding the following two lines, the correct "GL-less" accelerated behavior 
will be restored: (These go in the "Device" section)

        Option "VideoOverlay"   "on"
        Option "OpenGLOverlay"  "off"
