Has anyone tried xorg-server 1.4 actually?
I'm asking because 1.4.99.901 is a prerelease of 1.5 and 1.3.0.0 is a
1.3 version, so 1.4 seems completely untested, but buggy_repeat
workaround is now disabled for them. I unfortunately (for this case)
already upgraded to 1.4.99.901 (a ka 1.5 RC1 afaik) and then past that
to git xorg-server.
