Ok, agreed, it's not really a kernel bug. Maybe i'm a bit too sneaky and pushy here, because i had some "fun" with a 4 display system two days ago. But the change to the kernel is rather minimal and looks simple and safe to me. Anyway, the sooner this patch or a new ioctl goes in, the better. best, -mario > > -- > Earthling Michel D?nzer | http:// > www.vmware.com > Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI > developer
