"notmuch" tells me it was Alan Coopersmith:

That's all I know. I've never tried building the xserver tree on

I'm hoping you'll find either it just works or it's easily fixed with
some conditionals. I don't expect there are any portability issues with
the video-dummy or video-nested drivers, so you ought to be able to test
with those.
