An artifact of Fedora trying to not build DRI1. It's a fix in the wrong
place, xserver should define the appropriate symbols if any DRI is
built.

Mostly a hack for LCDs that only claim one supported resolution and
desktop environments too chicken to let you set arbitrary modes from
the display control panel. Again, not really thrilled with the
implementation of it, might be better solved in another place.

"Required", no. Nice to have, arguably.
