Somewhat related to Bug 71452.

I will be happy to add a patch whenever this is committed to Xorg CVS. Perhaps Bogdan Diaconescu <b_diaconescu@yahoo.com> would be a good person to contact regarding this, since he's committed much of the other gatos stuff. You may already be in contact with him via the gatos development lists, I don't know. If not, feel free to file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org and assign it to him. Please reopen this once it's committed in Xorg CVS.
(In reply to comment #2) Hi, Thanks for the prompt feedback, I will quiz the patch originator regarding CVS status.
