[Newbie]xfree86 4.2.0 code

Hello,

I am trying to port the utah-glx s3savage drivers from xfree86 3.3.x to 
4.2.0 . Old code calls xf86AccelInfoRec.PixmapCacheMemoryStart & 
xf86AccelInfoRec.PixmapCacheMemoryEnd to get the memory range to use.
In xf86 4.2.0 these do not exist. My understanding is to use 
xf86AllocateOffscreenLinear (from xf86fbman.h) for this task. Can I call 
this function directly or should I use FBManagerFuncs structure to do this?
Also, if there is a better way of allocatiing VideoRam please let me know.

Thanks

Faruk G.
