Last I heard, Xorg on Hurd still uses the "traditional" user-space
drivers. (Which in practice more often than not means just falling back
to the VESA driver with software rendering, I would guess?...)

There is no fb on Hurd. And since Wayland doesn't support any form of
userspace drivers as far as I'm aware, Wayland on X is probably the only
option for now, until DRI/DRM is ported...
