Hello,
doesn't this useless piece of information bother you?
It's not even *true* for all the drivers added lately,
which got this xf86- prefix just out of inertia :-)
My proposal is:
- create driver/video/ and move all video drivers there,
with the name being simply "ati", "nv", etc.
- same for driver/input/, etc.
- create symlinks with the old names to ease the transition
- update git_xorg.sh and the other modular scripts to
use the new name.
How does it sound?
