<h2>PreReq: Kernel ModeSetting and PageFlip IOCTL</h2>
-<p>At this point, kernel modesetting is upstream for Intel, ATI/AMD and
-nVidia chipsets. Most distributions ship with kernel modesetting
-enabled by default and will work with Wayland out of the box. The
-modesetting driver must also support the page flip ioctl, which only
-the Intel driver does at this point.</p>

+<p>At this point, Kernel ModeSetting (KMS) is upstream for Intel, AMD/ATI
+and nVidia graphics cards. Most distributions ship with KMS enabled by default.
+The KMS driver must also support the PageFlip IOCTL, which is currently
+the case for Intel and AMD/ATI graphics cards (XXX: nVidia?).
+Furthermore, a ddx (X video driver) with pageflip support is also required.
