you're correct, I was missing the closed-source ones.

Memory-wise, if there's a dozen drivers linked and only one being used is the
same as having only one linked. Memory counts only when the driver bits are
touched.

And regarding the space occupied, distributions that use Xorg for small set of
devices (like MeeGo) would not be shipping with a bunch of video drivers
linked with the server. Even though, disk is free and embedded people don't
care that much.
