Actually, the Solaris Xsun server does - specifically when it loads it
puts up an Adobe PostScript logo to acknowledge the presence of the Adobe
DPS engine.  I think the other vendors who licensed DPS do the same (at
least I have vague memories of seeing it pop up on AIX 3.2.5, but it's
been years since I used that and I'm not interested enough to put my
old RS/6000 workstation back together to find out).

That's of course not really relevant here, since I don't know of any
vendor who licensed DPS for use in an XFree86-based server, but there
you go.
