From what I understand the new code has/is being worked back into the
xorg tree by Dave Airlie (and others?) but there are various
xgl/xegl/xserver/kdrive trees to take into account, as well as the
public work that was going on while novell were doing the
behind-closed-doors work, and at the moment I think it only works using
nested X servers, my *GUESS* is that it won't see the light of before
X11R7.1 at the *EARLIEST*

Modular X is designed to help thuis sort of thing, but it's not minor
what you're asking for, I think you need to wait for FC6 or later ...
