o Add some video card ID (4600, M7740, 4700, M5750, RG220).
o Add support RS880 (AMD 785G chipset) but no ID available.
o Add XVideo attribute (Y'CbCr color space of the source video).
-Update libtool and libltdl to 2.2.6a.
-Remove devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15.
-Fix ports build with libtool22/libltdl22.
-Bump ports that depend on libltdl22 due to shared library version change.
-Explain what to do update in the UPDATING.
It has been tested with GNOME2, XFCE4, KDE3, KDE4 and other many wm/desktop

o Add support Radeon HD 4790.
o Add experimental support Radeon HD 4770.
o Add ForceLowPowerMode and LowPowerModeEngineClock options, and
Report GPU Core and Memory Clock.
e.g. radeonhd driver reports following clocks of my Radeon X1650 Pro:
(II) RADEONHD(0): Default Engine Clock: 588000
(II) RADEONHD(0): Default Memory Clock: 694000
It means that GPU Core Clock is 588MHz and Memory Clock is 694MHz. And
ForceLowPowerMode xorg-driver option can change Engine Clock.
o Fix some bugs on 3D engine and cursor.
o Use libpciaccess instead of libpci.
[NOTE]
Add many 2D acceleration works on R6xx/R7xx (a.k.a. Radeon HD [23]xxx/HD 4xxx).
Please see also: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/log/
Sorry, I don't confirm it on my AMD M780G (RS780 a.k.a. Radeon HD 3200) by hardware
failure. So it may not work well.
o Add CONFLICTS xf86-video-ati by radeonhd.4x.
o Fix implicit dependency on libpci.
o Add workaround to substitute @MKDIR_P@ to fix install issue.
o Re-evaluate related autogen.sh and bsd.autotools.mk.
[NOTE] bsd.autotools.mk (run-autotools target) substituted autogen.sh
in almost case.
PR: ports/129091
Suggested by: Martin nakal at web dot de, and many people
devices and features than xf86-video-radeonhd, but experimental.
Add CONFLICTS xf86-video-radeonhd and xf86-video-radeonhd-devel.

In this time, DRI is not usable. Because 3D acceleration will
disable 2D acceleration, and it supports R5xx series only:-(.
EXA might be usable rather than XAA. Because some XAA functions
aren't implemented. But 2D acceleration is supported only R5xx.
