Xorg-server 1.4 series and my earlier posting

[Maarten Maathuis]

If you download this (git clone
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xf86dga), run the usual
build stuff (./autogen.sh, configure, make), then there will be an app
called <something>dga<something>. Run this and it will tell you at
least if your video driver claims to support dga.
