Hello all,

These patches allow ATI's Radeon drivers (8.8.25) to work under the 
realtime-preempt 2.6.11-rc2-v0.7.37-01 Linux kernels.

Be sure to configure tmpfs before using (see 
http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4687.html).

OpenGL works very well. Quake 3, bzflag, gltron all run solidly and 
smoothly!
Exiting X Windows blanks screen until next reboot.
There are still some compile time warnings that should be fixed.
An OpenGL latency footprint / histogram and performance test suite 
should be developed.
The open code parts of ATI's drivers need to be picked through for 
spinlocks, and cleaned up if possible.
Lots of other work left to do, like a frame scheduler locked to page 
redraw interrupts, Xv support, a triple buffering API (next version of SDL?)

Please send me any improvements. Thanks.
