New option: -Y
when started as root, in or out X, this presents users some script cleanup options, remove the driver download directory, which can get big over time, and xorg.conf file backups, which can also add up over time.

To see it, upgrade sgfxi: sgfxi -U
then do: sgfxi -Y

I have completely refactored the nouveau/radeon module handling in sgfxi, it's now more readable code, and maybe I can actually get the issues debugged over time, the flow might work better too, we'll see.

Deprecated -c for nvidia, that is, default is composite ON for nvidia cards.

Legacy, very old nvidia cards, do not support composite, that's the ones that required the 71xx drivers, so it's always turned off for those.

-c still switches ON composite for fglrx or intel if you want that, but they do not default to it, since it's too much work to figure out which cards/chips support it and which don't.

-q overrides this default, and turns OFF composite for nvidia only, and any other future default I might add.

so that simplifies sgfxi: to run it, most users will need only: sgfxi
as the command. All other commands work but are not required for a default install.

smxi has also been updated to not send the -c flag to sgfxi on startup, and the text in gfx install has been updated as well, and also now offers nouveau to nvidia card users, wince...

added patches for fglrx 10-10, from Arch, thanks Arch, for 2.6.36.

Please note: I have tested that the patches apply without error, but I have NOT tested that they actually do what they claim, ie, make 2.6.36 and fglrx work together, but I assume they do.

If they don't let me know.

try this one if you've been having any issues with the 260 series, it fixes some leaks and race conditions.
