The attached patch seems to work fine. I got Xfbdev to start correctly
and I run a couple commands. I had some troubles getting the keyboard to
work, and I couldn't get the mouse, so I couldn't test a lot.
I didn't include the Xfbdev.1 manpage since upstream Makefiles seems to
ignore it, and I didn't want to modify them for such a useless manpage.
The manpage of Xkdrive is much more useful, but I am not sure which
package should include it.
I am also wondering whether we will have to build packages for all other
kdrive X servers (Xvesa, Xigs, Xtrident, Xsis530, Xtrio and Xitsy). If
so, I thought about building a single package for all of them (and put
the Xkdrive manpage there too). But people from the embedded world might
not like this idea if they don't want to waste disk space (about 4MB for
each additional server on i386).
