This patch adds support for the ns2501 DVO, found in some older Fujitsu/Siemens Labtops. It is in the state of "works for me". Includes now proper DPMS support. Includes switching between resolutions - from 640x480 to 1024x768. Currently assumes that the native display resolution is 1024x768. The ns2501 seems to be rather critical - if the output PLL is not running, the chip doesn't seem to be clocked and then doesn't react on i2c messages. Thus, a quick'n-dirty trick ensures that the DVO is active before submitting any i2c messages to it. This is probably to be reviewed.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
