The motivation for Antoine's patch is the xf86-video-dummy driver, and the same problems come up with xf86-video-nested. You could try either of those. The thread that Antoine cited in the commit message has more information on setting up an appropriate xorg.conf. Hopefully, someday, device access won't require root either, and this is a step in the right direction for that too. KMS drivers could probably run unprivileged with little work...
