Modify against new feature for PC-9821

This is not bug but modification of apm driver to new feature 
for NEC PC-9821.

  New version of apm driver at 2012-01-13 getting by git,

% git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-apm

were not yet made following modifications.

#if GET_ABI_MAJOR(ABI_VIDEODRV_VERSION) < 12
     if (!xf86IsPc98()) {
#endif

  This patch makes this modifications, but I cannot test it since
I have no card of apm.

Patches submitted to xorg-devel mailing list as described on 
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
are generally applied faster, but when it's for drivers no one has the 
hardware for and no one uses, that probably doesn't help.
Comment 2 Satoshi KImura 2012-03-15 03:46:21 UTC
Thank you for your kindly advice.

 This patch is against the management of version and makes no
modification about the function of driver. Of course, I also think
it is not good situation, as you pointed out, that there are no
hardware and no user. Now I'm seeking used apm card and user of it
on PC-98.
 Next opportunity, at least after examining not only this patch
but also apm driver itself, I will try to send patch to mailing list.

  New version of apm driver at 2012-05-15 getting by git, was already
modified equivalent to above patch. So, please close this "Bug 44779".
Thank you.
