Hey Jamey,

I took a look on this series. Comments are bellow.

In the first patch, given it involves screen saver extension I'd say maybe we
could hide inside devPrivates instead create a mandatory ScreenRec field.
However we're not loading scree saver as a separate module or component from
the rest of the server code. So seems okay. Also, you could change the name of
its structure for another than ScreenSaverStuff :)

And I wouldn't care about dummy video driver being broken, really - let's
squash it and void input driver within the server and delete xvfb. But other
conservative guys might have different opinions here. 

As you mentioned above we might want to work on the remaining MAXSCREENS, for
instance applying my ReallocGlobals patch to realloc screenInfo.screens. But
I'd say to think about that after keithp's fix-private-usage get merged.

Here it's:
