	+ Xorg server has been updated to 1.18.4 and autodetection has changed.
	+ The order in which drivers are now attempted is:
	+ 1) vendor/model specific driver according to PCI IDs
	+ 2) generic modesetting driver which requires a drm driver with KMS
	+ 3) scfb, the generic framebuffer driver
	+ 4) vesa (only if arch is x86)
	+
	+ This should minimize the need for xorg.conf files. It is recommended to
	+ load the correct KMS driver (i915kms.ko or radeonkms.ko) via rc.conf,
	+ i.e. kld_list="i915kms.ko", to ensure correct functionality. Although
	+ the vendor drivers may attempt to load the correct drm driver, which
	+ does not always work, the modesetting driver assumes the required KMS
	+ driver is already loaded and will fail if there is none. The modesetting
	+ driver is now recommended as an alternative to the Intel driver; the
	+ performance is comparable and stability is better with modesetting. The
	+ ATI driver continues to offer better performance than modesetting.
