some things noted so far on a -current XF4 tree on -current i386
(thinkpad x40).  /etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6 were wiped out before
building.

- i810 driver doesn't seem to want to run more than once.  on
  initial startup it works but if x is killed, a subsequent startup
  results in:

   X Window System Version 6.8.1

      *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not

   Fatal server error:
   Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

  so if the x server ever exits, a reboot is required to start it
  again.

- annoying key autorepeat problem already reported in bugzilla:

- Xnest seems broken:
