Actually, the hybrid approach works fine except for the fact that
XFdrake actually sets up the X symlink to the XF-3 server (and doesn't
seem to like the FB server :p). I *had* the same problem with XF-4,
the problem is that the default config (at least on a pre-final
system) doesn't load the DRI module. Take a look at the diff between
the default and what works on my system.
