CheckLID Option patch

When I try to start Xorg with 6,7,197 X stop loading because the state of the lid is closed always even when the lid is open. I can workarround this problem unloading the button module from acpi, but I Think I'wont be the only user with this problem (Really don't know where the problem is, acpi kernel implementation or laptop bios) so I have made a patch to add a option to xorg.conf called CheckLID, if the option it's true the comprobation is made else the comprobation isn't made.

Really I don't know how to make a patch correctly i'm using gentoo xf86-video-ati so I have against the source tar ball. (diff -r -u) 

Sorry my english.

there is already an option (IgnoreLidStatus) in ati git master.
