... Contrary to popular opinion, X.Org don't make improvements between
releases. They just find ways to make things more bloated. A lot like
Microsoft, then. ;-) 

(note the above was a joke)

next error : 

(EE) R128: Failed to load module "fbdevhw" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

^^ where do I find this mysterious "fbdevhw" ? Also how do I make "1"
the default state for hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap ? (so I don't need to do it
each restart) ... 

Thanks :)
