I'll try to test this tonight or at worse tomorrow, my FreeBSD box with Xorg 
merged has CMOS problems (and I'm not going to build it for the SPARC yet), 
so I need to find a replacement battery before.

This is cool, and would easily replace the hack in Xlib, and mesa, without 
code duplication, and without a lot of tests.

Maybe, but not sure what would be better suited :/
