It's a bit off topic, so I'll try to give an ending summary.
Yes there is X drivers, although the learning curve is a big factor, I
think I have a basic understanding of it now.
Documentation on what/how to do BeOS/Haiku graphics drivers was the
biggest one until I found Rudolf's guide:
http://haikunews.org/projects/rc/en/index.html (MMadia is asking him
if Haiku can host it). Excellent information.
So the only real remaining problem is finding time to work on it. It's
moving forward, I already found out it is better to avoid PCI video
rom bios handling for now.
