Dingo has cutdown Xorg drivers

When I built Dingo, it was with the aim of cutting out fat where possible. I virtually put Xorg together file by file, and chose a subset of the video drivers, that I thought would cover most hardware.

The video drivers are at /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/drivers, and this is the full set:
apm_drv.so ark_drv.so ati_drv.so atimisc_drv.so ch7017.so ch7xxx.so chips_drv.so cirrus_alpine.so cirrus_drv.so cirrus_laguna.so cyrix_drv.so dummy_drv.so fbdev_drv.so glint_drv.so i128_drv.so imstt_drv.so ivch.so mga_drv.so neomagic_drv.so nsc_drv.so nv_drv.so r128_drv.so radeon_drv.so rendition_drv.so s3_drv.so s3virge_drv.so savage_drv.so sil164.so siliconmotion_drv.so sisusb_drv.so tdfx_drv.so tfp410.so tga_drv.so tseng_drv.so vga_drv.so via_drv.so vmware_drv.so voodoo_drv.so

There was a recent post in the forum that someone needs the 'tdfx' driver, so I have now put that into Dingo, as well as the 'voodoo' driver, so this is what is now there:
ati_drv.so atimisc_drv.so i740_drv.so i810_drv.so intel_drv.so neomagic_drv.so nsc_drv.so nv_drv.so r128_drv.so radeon_drv.so sis_drv.so tdfx_drv.so trident_drv.so voodoo_drv.so

Now, the thing is, I don't know if 'tdfx' and 'voodoo' need anything else to run, as some of the drivers need extra files that are located at /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg but may not be in Dingo. I only put in drivers for which I could find the hardware to test on, then I was able to determine any extra files needed.

So, when you get 4.00beta2 and have video hardware that needs 'tdfx' or 'voodoo', give it a go and examine the log file, /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it was unable to find anything, then let me know.
