Me to, but I use 6 months.

IMHO XFree developed for runnig multiple locale X servers over
single videocard. Att-F1 switch to X1, Alt-F2 switch to X2 and so on.
In this case absolutely necessary disable first X before run second X.

But we have a different situation. Two or more X needs to run
simultaneous. Unknow NetBSD hacker create this patch and we use it.

I try very match config variants. All failed for me. I need patch.

IMHO XFree ready for poking the same card.

Don't know.

Why I do not ask for patch XFree folks?
IMHO if alone psihodelic-shizo-programmer create a working linux kernel, he
should not distrub others.
Latest 2-3 months 2.4.XX ruby version runs for me stable. In abstract I
should
ask need this stuff any other or not?
Unfortunately 2.5.XX status is unknow.
