The copy in bk://mesa3d.bkbits.net/jonsmirl is already converted. But there is
more to the problem. After the removal of the framebuffer driver I need to
rebuild all of the mode setting code in userland. I'm in the process of doing
that.

All of this is needed and is implemented in varying degrees.
1) Device driver knows how to attach to PCI ID
2) Generic loader program can open DRI device and get name of matching DSO.
(this needs to be fixed for radeon/r200 split)
3) r200 DSO is loaded
4) r200 DSO needs PCI ID, FB/MMIO start/length
5) Current mode of screen needs to be retrived to determine X/Y size of screen
(not working yet, this means EDID support has to work too.)
