o use acpi-cpufreq for Mobile PIII/Celeron

present (#8086)
Version 10.6.5 - 14 January 2008
- do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
- do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
- use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
after 8 seconds.
