They were built on this very machine, with xlibs-dev 4.3.0, up-to-date
sid.

I have just been through a little "hell" downgrading to 4.2.1, and now
it works ok. I'll try one more upgrade, just to be sure. Since I have a
Radeon 9700 Pro, I have to use the binary driver with X4.2, which kinda
worked ok, except that I can't get Xvideo when running dual-head :(
But I'll let you know how it goes after a new upgrade to 4.3... *fingers
crossed*
Thanks for your quick reply :)
Best regards,
Stian
