Very appropriate for this next sprint, because there is now some
documentation to walk through troubleshooting.

I agree this is a problem worthy of working on, but not sure having the
whole team looking at it is going to generate as much value as the other
items on this list.

If I understand correctly from the irc log, this item #4 was a reply to
one of the above 3 items, not a proposal for something the team could
work on for the sprint.
However, I would certainly welcome help re-testing and forwarding X
driver bugs upstream. ;-)
But seriously, I think this #4 fits fine down into #8.

I agree this item 13 is very appropriate for the sprint. Directions for
debugging several of the more common issues that result from letting X
pick the DPI are now documented and is something worth exploring as a
team.
Can I add some requests/suggestions for an item for the sprint?
* Best practices for patch management. E.g., how to use quilt, dpatch,
etc.
* HAL 101. (It's a pre-requisite for hotkey work)
* Kernel modesetting
