The modular Xorg installation with -current/i386 on the Dell Optiplex
GX110 also appears to render fonts properly in Firefox.  I didn't
notice any difference between it or the all-GCC4.8.3, and the
GCC4.8.3/GCC4.5.4-intel_drv.so installations.

Is there any thing in particular I should notice?  So far the only
shortcoming I've observed is the GCC4.8.3-built intel_drv.so causing
regions of alternating foreground/background colors to be rendered as
black.
