now if we could get xrandr up to 1.3 (I think it's still hanging at
1.2.3), I could conceivably get virtual scrolling back.
Run this:
repoquery --repoid=rawhide --changelog xorg-x11-server-utils
The latest changelog entry concerning xrandr shows that the package
coming to Fedora 11 at this point includes 1.2.99.4, which I assume is
a 1.3 pre-release.
