Yes, I think you have twice, back in early August.

My idealistic goal is to make unchanged binary Xsun ddx modules work, therefore I prefer putting conversion methods in place (the question is _where_ to put them: wrapper ddx module or xf86Init.c or into Xorg's *_drv.so loader). If we get stuck, we can still re-consider. -- Martin Bochnig MartUX Org.
