Definitely. I'm not yet sure how I'll deal with some issues related
to multihead, like enabling/disabling mirroring, telling XFree (when
using UseFBDev) which /dev/fbs are multiple heads of the same card,
etc... All that is basically lacking in the fbdev API at this point.

I'm also a bit swamped with work lately so I had to put my radeonfb
work on hold for a while. Of course, any help on that is welcome ;)
