XVidMode extension might be useful to non hardware servers as well (e.g. Xwayand) so that applications that rely on it (e.g. lot of older games) can at least have read access to XVidMode. But the implementation is very XFree86 centric, so the idea is to add a bunch of vfunc that other non-XFree86 servers can hook up into to provide a similar functionality.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
