I have not yet had a detailed look into 2.4.x, as so far I need to dive into
the XFree86 sources for getting PhoeniX accelerated.

Are there any guidelines available on what developers are intended to do
with driver code when moving from 2.2. to 2.4, or what might be 'new and
interesting
stuff to know'?

Hope I can check it soon.
However, the more people test it and spot problems, let me know (e.g. why not
make use of our but reporting system and file a bug-report?)
