XF86 4.0 has *less* driver support than 3.3.6, although what is supported in 4.0
should be better and faster than what's in 3.3.6.

Why?  They wanted to get 4.0 out the door and so some drivers didn't get
ported.  Some were binary only, and so they were relying on manufacturers to
port etc.

When 4.0 gets a little more mature all drivers should be updated and work
better.  Fortunately for me it all worked ok :-)
