[PATCH] xf86-video-ati: vblank wait on crtc > 1

Hi Alex,

Below is a patch against the master branch of xf86-video-ati that adds 
support for waits on vblank events on CRTCs that are greater than 1 (and 
thus cannot be represented using current primary/secondary flags 
interface). The patch makes use of GET_CAP ioctl to check whether
vblanks on crtc > 1 are supported by the kernel. If they are not
falls back to legacy behavior. Otherwise, it uses correct crtc numbers
when waiting on vblank and thus corrects the problem seen in certain 
multiscreen configurations.

The issue was discussed on the dri-devel list in these two threads

Ilija
