what xserver is chosen is s distro choice do not lock it here.

not sure of this point : the distro don't know if you want xserver-xorg
or xserver-kdrive for your machine.

kernel should not be pinned in conf file but in the kernel recipe itself
you should add PREFERRRED_PROVIDER_yourmacine = ...

this two defines should be part of distros to pin not machines.

I'm not sure of this :
GUI_MACHINE_CLASS is about the machine not the distro.
XSERVER's choice depends on the machine not on the distro.

Agreed. The machine dictates what will and will not make the hardware function here. That said, we ought to make that the default rather than xserver-kdrive :)
