At this point, given the near-unity overlap of "RANDRful drivers" and 
"usable KMS support", I think I'd prefer something more like:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=xorg-x11-server.git;a=blob_plain;f=xserver-1.6.99-right-of.patch;h=a0c9e7f64b98a091f64faaf5a8a432e2122e25f9;hb=HEAD

particularly once per-crtc pixmaps land.
