Well, when it wasn't working, I was grasping at straws to find a
solution.  I noticed the difference between what kernel xorg was built
under and the current one, so I thought I would give it a shot.

How do I know what is out of tree, and thus what needs to be rebuilt
when I recompile my kernel?  I'm using an older ATI Rage128
All-in-Wonder (with the TV tuner), and through this process, I've
re-emerged the ati-drivers.  But, is there an easy way to tell what
else *should* be recompiled?
