Radeon and r128 do use the vgaHW module, but they don't use the vgaHWMapMem
symbol.  The tdfx module does use vgaHWMapMem.  The i128 module uses vgaHW
only for saving/restoring fonts.  I'm not sure what module the twin turbo
cards use.

Just take a look at

   xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/*/*_driver.c

The contents of the list vgahwSymbols[] tells you which symbols from the
vgaHW module it tries to resolve at load time.
