tv-out isn't working yet.  I haven't figured out just why yet.  the
code is mostly there for reference in the hopes someone will help me

.diff is the same as .patch.  they are both patches to try my patches
all you need to do is copy the new .c/.h files into the radeon driver
directory and then apply the patch:
patch -p0 -i superpatch_radeon.diff
Finally rebuild the driver.
