The SiS and radeon pseudo-Xinerama is, as Alex correctly mentioned, entirely
driver-contained. Hence, it is in fact a driver feature. Without this feature,
MergedFB mode is pretty much useless for the end user.

This feature takes about 10k of the compiled binary, and it can be disabled by
an option. I do not see any reason for skipping compilation if the
server-internal Xinerama (which is much more complicated and therefore
bug-prone) is not being compiled. There is not the slightest connection between
them.
