There aren't three consumers: Mesa, xserver and DRI. There is only one, the dri
drivers in the Mesa tree. xserver and DRI then use the mesa dri drivers.

Also, something has got to give with fbdev vs DRM and registering with the
kernel as owner of the hardware. DRM can't continure to run in stealth mode on
2.6. Without registering the video hardware it never appears in /sysfs and
/udev. Registering also triggers the hotplug event which I'm using in my new
code to reset secondary adapters.
