Alex, first of all thanks for the patch! I couldn't get your
pre-compiled driver to work with my X (Debian sarge), so I ended up
recompiling it against the debian source (and producing debian packages
in case somebody is interested). your patch applied with a fuzz (I have
the corrected patch to drop into debian/patches) but everything
compiled.

I got X running now and DynamicPM is enabled.
