ae82f4b274 Mention iomem=relaxed in the README FAQ for Linux 4.x+ requirements
Thanks to Ben Hutchings for pointing out that vesafb and legacy X
drivers can peacefully coexist if iomem=relaxed gets added to the
Linux kernel cmdline options.

d072870e20 README: do not suggest compiling with xserver older than 1.3
This was done at one point in time by some drivers (3 that I remember)
but the workarounds all have been removed since. The tarballs created
by those drivers picked-up whatever code happened to be on the
developer disk and was not in git. The code was not maintained
and in fact did not work thereafter.

93f0303f79 Geode LX does not support PanelGeometry
Hello,

I believe I found an error in the README, which caused quite a lot of
confusion for me.
According to the source, PanelGeometry is only supported by the GX, not
by the LX, but in the README file, this option is listed on both.

Regards,
Christian
