If someone's feeling enterprising: this whole VT idea should really be a
DIX verb on the ScreenPtr, more like "get/put hardware". It's one of
the only really big semantic additions in xfree86 over the other DDXes
and it leaks in some really ugly ways.
I don't think it's worth addressing in this series, but it's bothered me
forever.
