Hi,

ARM and PCI do not exclude each other, I found this after a short search: 
http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/arm-sbc.php#ts-7800-500mhz-series

The X.org modular server can be build without libpciaccess in certain 
configurations, but it is a hard dependency in other cases, see until line 
1911: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/configure.ac#n1906

Since libpciaccess seems not to have any hardware-related dependencies I 
would to keep its dependency in xserver_xorg-server for simplicity.

Btw, how often do the autobuilder build the X.org modular server since
BR2_PACKAGE_XSERVER_XORG_SERVER_KDRIVE is the default value for
BR2_PACKAGE_XSERVER_XORG_SERVER?

Regards, Bernd
