Yes, and I've already accumulated about 10,000 lines of changes for this.
I don't have anything working yet as I'm still dealing with a number of
XFree86 infrastructure issues.  Mostly SunOS/Linux differences and PCI
handling.  It'll be at least a month before I feel comfortable with making
this work available to others, whether through CVS or not.  At this point,
even its compilability isn't as stable as I'd like it.
