Thanks for testing it.

That's really weird...  There really isn't anything in this aside from
your three patches and the quirks.  The quirks should be irrelevant, so
this should be functionally no different than what you published.

Not a good sign...

I built it in a pbuilder environment on the same p4 x86 box that I've
used for building xorg stuff for the past 6 months.  However, I recently
did upgrade this box from Feisty to Gutsy not too long ago, so it's
possible that something is wrong there.

Could you dget -x the .dsc I posted and build it yourself, and see if it
works properly?
