I thought people would have complained by now if their computer with ISA bus would not work any more. Some of them must have upgraded to server 1.6. But it's just a guessing game. The motivation for this patch is simply for clean-up, not big deal, but I have noticed functional maintenance work in this area. Removing dead code can save maintenance, if we can be sure it's really dead. It would be useful to have an up-to-date PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XORG, [xorg-server >= ????] statement in each driver. It would tell developers how far back to check for compatibility. Thanks
