Just a package selection for particular target that causes different
order of overwriting of staged files.

xserver-kdrive-1300 is the oldest version in the tree. If the latest
libxcalibrate works with it, I guess that it will work with any newer
version.

Are you sure that it is "kdrive support" and not just "kdrive in the
source tree", as it was in past (i. e. deprecated and without support)?

Well, anything newer than ancient xserver-kdrive-1300 working on
machines like spitz would be a win.

With a highly modularized Xorg, upgrade to full Xorg may be an option,
as it could support modern desktop extensions.

It also seems, that Xorg has much better performance in rotated fbdev
driver than xserver-kdrive-1300.

I was even able to run Xorg with OpenGL (Mesa emulated) on my Zaurus
(5-8FPS in glxgears).

Problems that block upgrage:

- broken keyboard driver (keyboard map loads only sometimes, some keys
or autorepeat doesn't load, kdrive > 1.3.0.0)
- support for different orientation of touchscreen and display (both
kdrive > 1.3.0.0 and xorg)
- working XRandR in fbdev driver (xorg, last time I tested it, just a
code for runtime rotation was missing, rotation itself was already
implemented)
