Well, the tdlabs-0-0-1-branch was a branch Alan did for me, so i could
work on DRI support for the gamma + pm3 combo. As it tourned out, i did
not have much time for it back then, and now, naturally i cannot run my
card anymore.

There was one change i did to the gamma module and to the X driver,
which passed the information from the X driver to the gamma kernel
module about how many rasterizers where used, and thus which
synchronization function is to be used (it is hardcoded to 1 rasterizer
only right now).

If i remember well, the patch that enabled this was really not all that
much, i think it just added a field to the drmGAMMAInit structure in
glint_common.h if i am not wrong, and reads it in the module.

The branch does contain some X driver level stuff for context swapping
on pm3, pm2 and pm3 + gamma also, but i did not touch the client side
acceleration.
