Modern X hooks deeply into kernel structures, direct rendering
is the default, there is no text mode anymore, and Linux is the
primary driver for the graphics stack. So - you're stuck with
KMS if you want to use X. :-(

This particular port is a meta-port that contains several drivers
for various brands and models, and it requires the kernel source
to be able to actually compile the modules.

Wrong binary interface, if I remember correctly, that's why
it was neccessary to recompile them manually, and use them
instead of what the OS provides.

Strange, isn't it? :-)
