[ydl-gen] Direct Rendering support for PS3

[Warren Nagourney]

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "direct rendering", but I am  
running OpenGL on my PS3 (to a monitor, not via ssh) and it works  
fine. It is not accelerated (hopefully soon it will be, with the  
great progress being made at ps2dev) but it is pretty fast (I can  
smoothly rotate the glut teapot in real time). You need the GLX item  
in your xorg.conf. ("load "glx"") in the modules section.
