Interesing. A quick persual though indicates that this test suite is more 
for testing the core compliance of the X server itself, such as protocol 
encoding/decoding etc. It doesn't seem to be vert well suited to testing 
hardware device drivers to ensure the drivers are correct (unless I am 
missing something in my quick overview). I will have one of my QA 
engineers take a look at it more closely.
