[ltp] R51: ATI powerplay support for XFree86 4.3 ??

[Florian Dorpmueller]

Hi Alex,

I found the sources of XFree86. Can you give me some more instructions how 
to backport powerplay support (which files to change, how to build the 
drivers..)? I will try to build them and perhaps later provide the result 
here.

Greetings,
Flori
