Hi all,

I was looking around for a fix to the problem discovered a short while ago with 
respect
to Xfree86 and multihead, and found something...

 From the changelog from the cvs tree for 
X(http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/changes.html) i noticed
a fix had been done for the int10 problem.

A patch is available here:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6

Steps I took to resolve this issue:
extracted the Xfree86-4-Servers port,
slightly modified the diff so it would patch (the paths to the files)
patched it,
installed,
configured X as it was before with the multiple heads,

restarted X, and it worked!

My system has an AGP nvidia GF2 card as well as a PCI Matrox Mistique card.

Any ideas as to how long until we'll see this patch incorporated into the 
Xfree86 port,
or are we just waiting for 4.3.1 to be released?
