Bryce: that would be nice, I've been busy with work the past few days
and haven't been able to tackle it yet, so if you like to hack on it
that would be fine :)

The solution we could use is to modify matchDriverFromFiles() from
hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c to use vesa if matches[0] is not set
after the while loop. Shouldn't that work? Then videoPtrToDriverName()
would place the autoconfigured driver to matches[1] and the server would
still use vesa. Case closed, for now. The real solution, however, would
be to modify xf86Init.c to use autoconfig() even if CONFIG_NOFILE is
false, and add the logic to handle the existing Device-sections. I think
this is what jcristau has on his (long) todo-list.
