Hi,

Aside from a problem switching video modes (CTRL-ALT-+|-)
where XF86-4.3 gets messed up wrt virtual screen size...
it is working well.

There is a packaging problem with xfs-xtt though.  It looks like you
need to check to make sure user:xfs-xtt actually exists before running
userdel.

Not exactly a show stopper, but probably enough to stump the
majority of users wrt what to do next.


Thanks for making XF86-4.3 available.
