[...] Snip.

New X packages look great. Thanks Branden and team.

A minor bug report:

In /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90xfree86-common_ssh-agent, the line
  $realstartup="$sshagent $sshagentargs $realstartup"
   should read
  realstartup="$sshagent $sshagentargs $realstartup"

Also, is there any way to disable xconsole? An xdm.options entry perhaps?

Finally, does XFree86 support using two monitors on a dual head
Matrox G400 yet? I tried it (set up second screen and monitor entries
and modified the screenlayout) and got a signal 11 from the server.
I can provide the log file or debug info if anyone wants it.


thanks,

Hamish (please cc me on any replies as I am not on debian-x)
