Mir instead of Xorg-server

Currently there's no Mir suport for non-free video drivers, so anyone with 
nVidia/ATI will need to use Xorg.  Additionally, some of the other flavors are 
sticking with X for 13.10, and X from 13.10 is needed for 12.04 hardware 
enablement updates, so it'll be maintained in any case.
