XF86_SVGA + vesafb = Works

Hey all,
I just decided to try vesafb after the heated debate about the beer drinking
penguin (what a cutie!) and decided to try running X for the heck of it. Well I'm
using the SVGA server so I expected it to complain or crash, but it seems to be
working! I can even switch between VCs and X without problems. And X is still
accelerated :)

Kernel is 2.1.111, X 3.3.2.2, older Matrox Millenium 4mb with BIOS updates (forgot
the version) supports Vesa 2.10

If this was known to work, sorry for crowding the list, but I was under the
impression that only the FB server worked with vesafb.
