As a user, I'm concerned what happens with > 2048 pixel setups in the next driver versions that rely on UXA and nothing else. I've tried UXA before on my dual monitor configuration (1280x1024 VGA + 1024x768 laptop) and get rejected for DRI not being available. (I'm not even trying to use Compiz - just DRI)

What will happen when I go to install Ubuntu Karmic, or use the xorg-edgers repository, and want to use dual monitors? Fall back to VESA framebuffer drivers?

Forgive any ignorance here, please. This is mostly an attempt by me to bring attention to (what is to me) a serious flaw in the drivers. I'm surprised this bug hasn't garnered more attention, since a quick google will show you countless posts on forums of people who have this problem.
