Remove DGA support from the driver.
The xf86DiDGA code required that the scanout buffer always be mappable, stay be at a fixed address in the aperture and have a constant size. With frame buffer resizing, the latter two are no longer true, and with KMS, we'd really prefer to not allow the former. The only option available to the driver is to completely disable DGA as the modes code has internal calls to the xf86DiDGA code when fetching new modes from the hardware. A fix for the DiDGA code will be added to the X server which will automatically initialize DGA for mode switching and input, but not frame buffer access, and not require any driver cooperation. Thus, the correct solution is for the driver to not call xf86DiDGAInit at all. For old servers, this eliminates a potential catastrophic problem where random memory is written by the X server. New servers will get the DIX-based behaviour automatically. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>
