Ummm...there is no pixmap spell, I assume you mean pixman? As for  
pixman in test, 0.10 has been in test since April 11, 2008 with commit  
d71d5dba77af582de55bea58a8f0a645bb3f90af. I integrated this from  
devel-xorg-modular as other packages also needed pixman >= 0.10.

As for getting xorg-modular into test, we have a master bug #13845[0]  
for people to file bugs against for what they find. I believe  
everything is set, including the automatic upgrade from  
xfree86{,-devel,-44} and xorg to xorg-modular. I tested this on one  
box (thanks dkowis! :)), but others are encouraged to help test, file  
bugs, and fix issues. There are probably various missing dependencies,  
but they seem to be fixed as they are found.

All, if you find *any* issues with using xorg-modular or upgrading  
from xfree86{,-devel,-44} and xorg to xorg-modular, please file a bug  
and link it to #13845[0].

If I have time I will go through and try to do one last "clean"  
install of xorg-modular and one last upgrade from xfree86{,-devel,-44}  
and xorg to xorg-modular. I believe Andraž is also waiting for a  
"stable" release, but I'm not sure if this is part of the hold for  
xorg-modular -> test or not.
