But you could put it in the the common directory as a set of helper
functions or something such, which only need to be called by the drivers ? 

And the ddx driver would need to be able to program the video outputs
anyway, and what else is really needed ? The Xinerama hinting stuff ?
The RandR like dynamic configuration ? 

What i think is most important is that a common configuration options or
something such be defined, before every driver go at it in its own way.
