i945G support for Ubuntu Hoary

[Scott M. Dier]

I've compiled up some X binaries (and source is there) with (supposedly, 
I've not tested it on an actual i945G chipset yet) support for i945G. 
Most of the new Dell machines are such.  I'm interested if anyone with a 
945G (GMA 950) can try them out and let me know if they work.  I 
wouldn't expect 3d support (I think dri in ~2.6.12 has this(?)) but 2d 
accelerated beats VESA anyday.

I've tried them with a i815 and an i855GM and they both seem stable (and 
3d dri worked).

These are completely unsupported and may make your system crash, etc. 
These will in all likelyhood conflict with security updates if they 
become needed for hoary in the future.  These should upgrade fine to 
breezy, not much was changed (just i810 driver update).

You should only need to install the -server and -common packages to make 
them work, too.

Here they are:
