For NetBSD/i386, the XFree that comes with NetBSD contains virtually
no (if at all) changes. If we need to make any changes, we try to
get them integrated into the XFRee86 tree as well. NetBSD/i386 usually
has the most recent release of XFree86 in it.

The changes in the driver talked about here were presumably put into
XFree-current, which we don't track. If they will be in XFree86 4.2.2,
then NetBSD will pick them up when it's released. The current version
of XFree86 in NetBSD is 4.2.1, see /var/run/XFree86.0.log:

XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 3 September 2002
