If not, then this seems like an issue for third parties to fix (although it does raise binary compatibility concerns) _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
