Bounties may be a good idea for some things, but I was thinking of
more of a general xorg development fund.  People would donate to it
and the money would be used to pay the developer time needed to
implement whatever major features were requested (support for new
chips, new XAA, etc.).  With a Fund, you'd be guaranteed of results,
however, it's probably a more significant initial outlay of cash
required.
