2.4.9-ac15 (double entries for DRI cards)

2.4.9-ac15 (double entries for DRI cards)

[Stephen Torri]

In "Character Devices" when configuring the kernel using xconfig there are
double entries for video cards under Direct Rendering Manager.  The
following cards are reported twice:

3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+
3dlabs GMX 2000
ATI Rage 128
ATI Radeon
Intel I810
Matrox G200/G400/G450

They menu is correct when doing menuconfig. They are only reported once.
The bug is repeatable.

kernel: 2.4.9 patched with 2.4.9-ac15.
gcc: 3.0.2 (snapshot)

That is normal with xconfig, it displays all possible options and greys
out the ones that you cannot select.  Trivial patch to make it more
obvious what is going on, against 2.4.9-ac15.
