Hi Alon,

I followed Marc-André's advice and sent these out to DRI ond xorg 
mailing lists, respectively.  The qxl.ko patch was picked up by Dave 
Airlie and committed to drm-next branch.

The second is still without a home.

(BTW: An SEP is a "somebody else's problem" effect, see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somebody_Else%27s_Problem, popularized in 
Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide novel.  Very funny concept.)

Any possibility of help with issue #2, the xorg-devel list is silent on 
this  one and I don't know who the maintainer is specifically. Without 
this patch xorg-qxl is trivially crashable when using dual head at 
1920x1200 resolution (or potentially lower resolution).
