The big disadvantage is that XF86_FBDev is ooold and lacks a lot of features
like shadow framebuffer, RENDER extension, ...
The only possible advantages I see are for exotic cases like 1 or 4 bit depth
which might be broken in the 4.x fbdev driver (but should be easy to fix) and
that maybe XF86_FBDev offers some acceleration for some chipsets, but I'm not
even sure there.
