Please stop using XFree86 as an example of a "firmware blob" problem. It had them, but they turned out to be inconsequential to its operation and were removed in 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 to no ill effect that we've seen on debian-x. Code in the xfree86 source package under SGI's "Free Software License B"[1] is a problem with much more significance. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/211765 -- G.
