[PATCH 1/2] Since G965 class hardware has overlay too, enable it

[Thomas Fritzsche]

Hi,

one vote to make Overlay at least default (first xv adaptor), to get
rid of this blacklist entry:
http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist
I know EXA is the way forward, but until performance issues are
resolved, this is maybe the best compromise. Still it's should be
possible to select textured video in an environment where it makes
sense.

Cheers,
Thomas
