The plan was to switch to xorg 7.0. What's missing there is to make 
sure it works on i386 and amd64 ( probably trivial but I don't have the 
hardware ) and integration with the reachover framework. We'll probably 
need to import a few more libs, what's in tree right now should be 
enough to build the Xserver and a bunch of drivers though.
Problem is that I'm totally unfamiliar with reachover and swamped in 
other work. So if anyone wants to start it please go ahead!

have fun
Michael
