 	Its been supporting X servers for a while now - I'm running
 	xf86-video-ati on my Thinkpad T41p, an Asus 9600 based laptop
 	and a shuttle with a 9550, xf86-video-vesa on an X700 based
 	laptop, and xf86-video-i810 on an old i810 dell desktop.

 	What its lacked has been a meta package to pull in all the
 	drivers, but joerg added meta-pkgs/modular-xorg-drivers :)

 	Be warned, the ati driver at least leaves the console with
 	"extremely dark grey on black text" on exit, though the
 	vesa driver is better behaved.

 	KDE3 & freevo also seem happy, and just ran a quick scratch
 	test of Kmail and it seemed happy to send over TLS (I use
 	a different MUA normally)
