New patch, for SL 10.0

Description Matthias Hopf 2005-08-11 10:01:03 UTC
The radeon driver's MetaModes driver option needs Spaces for seperating
different modes, which does not work with SaX2 secondary monitor configuration.

Instead of '-' and ' ' as delimiting characters the driver should additionally
respect ',' and ';', which would make it compatible to the NVidia driver as well.

Patch for adding ',' and ';' as additional delimiter characters

This patch updates the radeon, sis, and mga modules, which share about the same
code.

Stefan, please assign to Marcus after fixing, to track the SaX2 changes.
