Understand we have XF 4, and this server builds against the XF 4 MI
libraries already. What we don't have is the loadable server,
XF86Config, and so on. The frame buffer modules are apparently
identical to what's presently linked into the server staticly, but I
really haven't looked at what we have to do to use them, and
especially how to replace the PCI probe, and with what. (The grf
device can't even tell you what type of hardware you have.)
