   Hi Dan,

   I know that you sent your SCA (repeatedly =) so
   I looked at the fix.

   It looks good.

   Please see my comments below.

   Sounds good.

   OK, I think it's a good idea to separate the two fixes.

   You mean, if randr is present?
   It could be that it didn't have randr extension.
   It looks from the comments in the bug report that 1.3 works
   fine with dual screens w/o xinerama in general.

   I assume this is all on linux, right?

   Ugh. That might be a problem - we don't have too many
   multiscreen solaris or linux systems that we could install
   new X server on. But we'll see what we can do.

   We can at least test on the configuration we have.
   I have a Solaris 10 machine with dual (non-xinerama)
   screen - the fs mode isn't supported on it.

   I can't think of a good automated regression test for this fix.
   You can I suppose write a jtreg regression test as script
   (it is allowed), run xdpyinfo and find out that randr of the
   correct version is installed and then test if fullscreen
   is supported but it may not necessarily be a fully correct test -
   fullscreen may not be enabled for other reasons.

   This particular fix is 2D only, so we can continue on 2d-dev.
   The other one - we'll see. I suppose it's not that much of a problem
   if you cc both lists.

   Thanks,
     Dmitri
