OK.

OK - Tell me which of the X servers in
xsrc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/*.man files I should add a note in the
SETUP section and I can do it. Anything besides XF86_SVGA?

I'm thinking of something simple like ``This server requires "options 
VM86" compiled into the kernel for proper operation.''

What would be useful is to print that clearly on the screen if the
operations that require "options VM86" do fail.
