On my Pismo, it's the other way round.  Contrary to 4.0.3, the 4.1.0 X
server works nicely without a BusID.  However, it requires the
UseFBDev option.  That's with

You could add a BusID option regardless of architecture, and point out
that the user can normally leave it blank.  This would take care of
both the more picky PowerPC machines and the multi-headed setups.
