Has the multi-x-screen breakage been fixed for amdgpu 18.0.0? I can't 
see a commit hinting at a fix, and i assume it was broken by the new HW 
cursor + pageflip logic, just as in the xf86-video-ati case? I can't 
test anything myself atm. as my only  amdgpu capable gpu has left me :(

Broken multi-x-screen from an official driver release ending in a distro 
would be a big problem for many vision scientists, as they depend on AMD 
+ dual-x-screen support for their work.

Thanks,
