Hi,
Here is a little patch to `dexter', that makes two enhancements.
Add `-s' to enable selecting another X server even if the current one
is recognized [used for generating `XF86Config-4' in an older environment].
It recognizes `XF86_3DLabs' as one of the existing XFree86-3 servers.
Hope you can use it.
