Comment 16 for bug 104262

Awesome, thanks!

I will have to check to see if the new ATI xorg drivers and XRandR have made
it into testing yet and try it out.

At least the XRandR 1.2 will mean I can run 1 Xorg configuration on my
laptops in the near future.
In my opinion this has been one of the major stumbling blocks to getting X
operating perfectly, and one of the very few areas where "gasp" Microsoft is
better at something.

Thanks to everyone for their great support!
