[ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-ati 6.8.0

Hello list,

I'm quite happy to say this release works pretty well. I have one tiny
little complaint though. I have a dual head setup with r200 and two
identical screens, one connected to DVI and the other to VGA output.
The card also has a S-video output.

The thing is that, when I start gdm, the behavior is correct, mouse can
move at will on both screens, but as soon as I log in gnome (2.20.3),
DVI head shuts down and I'm back in single screen mode. Manually setting
the layout with:

xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto --left-of VGA-0

works. If I use xrandr --auto, it goes in clone mode. On a maybe related
note, when I use totem to play a video and put it in fullscreen, it
makes the server go back in single head mode as well while it's not the
case with mplayer. Somebody told me it might have something to do with
changing resolution.

Anyway, I've tested the intel driver as well and at least it doesn't
fallback in single head mode with totem so I guess there is a real bug
here :) I've attached xorg.conf and xrandr --verbose output. Hope this
helps.
