Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22

[Zbynek Winkler]

I am not sure I know how the system worked internaly and I would 
cetrainly make no requests in that matter. I was just trying to point 
out the user point of view. You are (probably) saying that you have 
improved the software internaly (which is always good). However this 
improvement changed the original default behavior in such a way that in 
order to get it back I am going to have to browse the net for some 
XF86Config-4 file only to set it to same value I was perfectly happy 
with before I did the upgrade. Isn't it weird? And I know this will fix 
the problem only because I happend to subscribe a week ago to this list. 
Before that I didn't even know there was such an option. Could you make 
us all happy and use the win32 default unless told otherwise instead of 
pulling one out of thin air? Does it sound reasonable? We are talking 
here only about two numbers. I don't mean to be pain in the ... but I 
really think it is more logical to do it this way. Would it break anything?
