Default xorg: where's the super/extended vga driver?

Hello,

after manually upgrading to 12.0 I can still manage a decent
X experience using the old xorg.conf and hacking it a little
bit. But if I generate a new xorg.conf with the new xorgconfig
I run into a lot of troubles.

This is the list of all new xorg video drivers I have installed:

/var/log/packages/xf86-video-fbdev-0.3.1-i486-1
/var/log/packages/xf86-video-mga-1.4.6.1-i486-1
/var/log/packages/xf86-video-tga-1.1.0-i486-1
/var/log/packages/xf86-video-trident-1.2.3-i486-1
/var/log/packages/xf86-video-v4l-0.1.1-i486-1
/var/log/packages/xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0-i486-1
/var/log/packages/xf86-video-vga-4.1.0-i486-1

Then I run xorgconfig and chose the 16 bit depth but I received
a complaint that depth 16 is not supported by the driver.
I have manually changed that to 8 bit but all I get is a black
screen and that's it.

This a list of all errors:
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) AIGLX: DRI module not loaded

And this is the list of all warnings:
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or
directory)
(WW) VGA(0): Mode pool is empty

Thanks
