I thought the whole point of XFree4 new driver mechanism was that
it was OS-neutral. It should be possible to run the same binary
driver on all x86 platforms running XFree4 *without* recompiling.
I don't know how this driver interacts with the kernel module,
though. I'm not sure I even understand why a kernel module is
needed in this case.
