Well today xorg 7.1 was released and we already have it in our
grimoire:

scribe add xorg-modular from
http://codex.sourcemage.org/testing/xorg-modular.tar.bz2

For those that want to test it:
a) dispel xorg
b) cast xorg-server
c) cast various drivers and libs you might need from xorg-drivers and
xorg-libs
section

You'll want to also run `cleanse --prune doit` to have everything (or
almost everything, I'm still fixing what I've found) build against the
xorg-modular libraries (some of which have changed names/locations).
Be sure to select switching from xorg to xorg-server/mesalib for the
providers (usually option #3 ;)).

Having to change providers is annoying, it should just do it for you
(default to what's installed for most cases, else prompt). Also it really
shouldn't prompt you every single time you cast the spell.

What should do it for us? You're not expected to change providers
often (xfree86 -> xorg being an example). What shouldn't prompt every
time you cast a spell? If you mean asking what should provide FOO,
then it does ask every time, but defaults to what has already been
chosen for FOO further up the chain or is already installed or the
first on the list if none of the above (unless you used `sorcery
default add` to set it ;)).
