AFAIK (which is not very far) Kdrive is still the easiest way to
quickly cobble together a minimalist server for some wacky hardware or
software environment, no? I'm not sure it is worth killing, given how
small and simple it is. No opinion on the other ones, though.

Is there a document around somewhere describing the 15000 different
virtual / nestable / pluggable X servers in / around X.Org and their
similarities and differences? If not, could somebody who knows please
write one?
