And I am now up and running with no icky SVGA driver being used.  (I'd really
forgotten how painful that stuff was -- not just window movement, but
scrolling really hurt too.)

The solution was to get XFree86 4.0.1.  I grabbed both the package and port
because Hellmuth Michaelis (hm@kts.org) said he had needed a patch to allow
suspending and resuming to work properly on his; I haven't applied the patch
yet, though, and am currently working on just the base package.  I also needed
to add

	Option	"Emulate3Buttons"

to my InputDevice section for the mouse, and it needed to use

	Option	"Protocol" "auto"

(explicitly specifying the PS/2 protocol caused it to not work).

But it does appear to work.  Of course, now audio is not working again... sigh
