Ãyvind,
I think I fixed at least part of your problem with the clipboard support
when compiling from CVS. It turned out that my OsVendorReset function
was not being called in the CVS version because -DDDXOSRESET was not
being defined where the files in Xserver/dix/ could see it, thus no call
was made to OsVendorReset since it is wrapped with #ifdef DDXOSRESET.
I'm not sure if you were using Xdmcp or if you were using -mutliwindow
with ssh. If you were using Xdmcp, then this may fix your problem; if
you are only using ssh, then it is unlikely to help.
