As long as they are completely isolated. I'll need to review them first.

Please do. I don't currently have a cross compile environment, so patches
rather than bug reports are even better.

The XFree86 CVS will branch to become xf-4_3_0-branch and new work
will continue on HEAD. Patches to 4.3.0 will be applied to the
xf-4_3_0-branch.

Strictly speaking - no new features are allowed at this point, only
bug fixes. So the new multi-window/monitor stuff shouldn't be allowed.

But I'll see what I can do when I see the patch.
