This is based on the master branch of xf86-video-qxl, which AFAIK is fully
0.4 compatible (does not use any 0.6 stuff).

That is probably best answered by ssp, but looking at his private
git repo offscreen surface using branch, I see no compat stuff, so
I guess the plan is having 2 differently named drivers and
teach the xorg server which one to load when.

ssp ?

When choosing the latter we should better rename the driver binary so old and new qxl drivers can be parallel-installed ...

Right (give the new driver another name)

Regards,

Hans
