Hardware overlay on G965

[Thomas Fritzsche]

Hi Maxim and Keith,

thanks so much for the update! This option ("TexturedVideo") is a good
idea, I enhanced your version to have another option ("OverlayVideo")
to enable/disable Overlay Video as well. This way it's quite easy to
turn Overlay Video off in case it cause trouble for somebody's
hardware, also it avoids this useless
+#define HW_HAS_OVERLAY(pI810) (1)
in the coding.

You'll find my version here:
http://linux.pengin.de/ubuntu-intel-overlay.diff
(I using intel-2.1.1 in the Ubuntu version)

For non-xorg-developers (like me) that just want to get rid of the
crash while playing video on i965 using Compiz, I put some short
instructions online on how to quickly compile a new driver on Ubuntu.

Thanks so much for this patch, hope it'll make it into git soon.

Thanks,
Thomas
