I think we are saying almost the same thing. The codebase is poorly maintained 
because the people working on the drivers are not spending time testing changes 
to see if they break old cards. I assume the developers have the latest because 
(a) they are adding features using the 3D features, and (b) if they were using 
the 2-3 year old cards they wouldn't be developing anything, because they would 
be running in text or VESA mode.
