Thanks for the fix. It's annoying, but there's not much else we can
do. Hopefully the X.Org server will change its ServerVendor string
before it gets to a 6.7 release again---or maybe they can just skip
from version 5 to version 7 to avoid repeating versions.

Thanks. I made the change from 60000000 to 60700000, and this change
has been pushed out now, (and also backported to the 1.4 branch).
