I hope it worked. If not you will be in bad mood. :D

I don't recall saying I'm unhappy with you reply time. :D

I was playing a bit more with the source and found out:

- ati tries to load fbdevhw and fails. when i comment out
   radeon_driver.c:3991 it complains about missing vgaHWGetHWRec.
   'nm Xorg | grep vga' displays nothing.
   I don't really understand why symbols from scanpci are exported and
   those from vgahw aren't... They look identical to me (If they were we
   could just remove the line 3991 from radeon_driver or change
   xf86LoadSubModule so it would return TRUE for builtin modules)

- when I remove the pcidata from the baseModules list
   (hw/xorg/common/xf86Init.c:120) it catches SIGSEGV in
   x86pciBus.c:1732 - xf86SetupPciIds == NULL.
   It seems to work when we remove the conditional build (that is:
   sed -ie '1712,1723d;1730d;' x86pciBus.c)

Is there any use in me playing with this apart from learning (that's me) 
and loosing time (that's you)? :) I would love to help and learn 
something new (I've only played with simpler C programs before) but 
maybe it is not the right moment for this?
