XVideo support for RedHat 7.2 available

Hi there,

After gaining enough courage I re-compiled RedHat's XFree-4.2.0 RPMs
with the new XVideo support for the neomagic driver on my old little
laptop :-) Thanks to all those that did the hard work implementing the
functionality!

You can find the RH-7.2 RPMs, source RPM, patch and binary driver at
http://ltswww.epfl.ch/~dsanta/resources/linux

The RPM is a patched version of XFree86-4.2.0-6.62 (from RawHide). The
patch just changes the neomagic driver to the one in the XFree86 CVS
(excluding the multiple domains stuff in neo_bank.c).

If you already have a version of XFree86 4.2.0 installed you can
probably just replace the neomagic driver with the new one (also
available on the web page above).

More instructions are available on the web page above.

So far I have used it successfully, although I haven't had much time to
test it. It would be good to know if anyone encounters any problems.

I also submitted and RFE in RedHat's bugzilla along with the patch (bug
#63609): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63609 

Best,

Diego
