Log:
Finally added hardware checks for dri-howto.xml. *and* they're non-nvidia-specific, though they work for nvidia cards. radeon-ricers can rejoice, though ymmv. not responsible for breakages. not responsible for lost or stolen articles. void where prohibited.

+
+<p>
+First, let's see if your video card can support fast writes. We'll do this by
+closely inspecting the output from <c>lspci</c>. Specifically, we are looking
+at the "VGA compatible controller" information.

+
+<p>
+While quite a lot of information is produced, we are looking for <b>FW</b> in
+the "Status" subsection of the AGP "Capabilities" section. If <b>FW+</b> is
+present in the "Status" line, it means the card supports fast writes. We can
+now check if the motherboard supports fast writes.

+
+<impo>
+If you do not see <b>FW+</b>, but instead see <b>FW-</b>, you cannot enable
+fast writes in <path>xorg.conf</path>. Your card does not support fast writes.
+</impo>
+
+<p>
+Now let's make sure the motherboard supports fast writes as well. This time,
+look at the "Host bridge" section of your <c>lspci</c> output.

Log:
Updated some parts of the dri-howto doc. Until I can track down an ati or non-nvidia cardholder, though, the proposed hardware check process will have to wait. Mostly, I need a monkey/volunteer to show some bits of /proc. The section is in comments in the guide now, so it can be added eventually. See bug 116506 .
