** instructions for users
 
   GATOS specific options. The following options may be specified in
   /etc/XF86Config device section in case when BIOS is not available
   or autodetection fails.
 
   RageTheatreCrystal: either 2700 or 2950. Normally autodetection should
                       work fine
   RageTheatreTunerPort, RageTheatreCompositePort, RageTheatreSVideoPort:
    these options should be specified only if BIOS is not present or
    autodetection fails. Possible values span integers from 0 to 6.
 
   TunerType should be specified when BIOS is not available or autodetection
   fails. Possible values span integers from 0 to 31, but not all tuner types
   are in use at the moment.
 
** instructions for developers
 
        - Create patches with:
 
                diff -u --unidirectional-new-file ati.2.orig ati.2 > ati.2.patch
 
        - ati.2 is based on XFree86 CVS of February 06 2003 - 4.2.901+
          Your mileage with later trees may vary
 
** Hint from Marko Skofljanec:
    (this is now the recommended way to compile ati.2)
 
    If you want to setup ati.2 separately from XFree source tree cd into
    driver directory ati.2 and execute the following command:
 
       xmkmf path/to/your/xfree86/tree
 
    Afterwards you can run make as usual..
 
** Developing for 4.3.0
 
    + Get the tree from usual place, compile and install it.
      Do _NOT_ delete it !
      Be careful to follow instruction in the README, take a
      look at host.def and site.cf files, especially for DRI trees,
      as they tend to enable everything dri-specific (and you might not
      have glide library if you don't have any 3dfx cards).
 
    + chdir to directory ati.2 and do
 
        xmkmf path/to/your/xfree86/tree
 
        make
 
        make install
 
    + try the server..
 
    + develop/debug/enhance
 
    + repeat steps as necessary.
 
 
** Submitting patches
 
If you want to send the maintainer (or the list) a patch, then you do
the same  (not forgetting to clean the directories as people don't want extra
.bck or .o files) but use
 
        diff -u --unidirectional-new-files ati.2 my.ati.2 > my.patch
 
where ati.2 is the directory you got from livid cvs and my.ati.2 is the
directory with your changes. This way everyone can clearly see what are the
modifications to current ati.2 you want to make.
 
And, of course, if you did not create any new files (like SAAXXXX.c) you
can simply use diff -u  - saves time on cleaning directories (you just
keep the original one clean).
