xorg-config.xml.diff

The xorg-config guide needs updating:
* Nouveau has been moved out of staging
* The label for the DRM_I915 option has changed
* New Radeon hardware needs new firmware

Additionally, it was clarified that Firmware blobs root directory applies to all hardware, not only Northern Islands.

Attached diff contains suggested changes. Additionally, the whole guide with this patch applied can be viewed at http://dev.gentoo.org/~chithanh/doc/en/xorg-config-20120603.xml
