Re: multi point x

Because it's in the master branch right now, it will be featured in the next xorg release (7.5). If you want to use it before that time (7.5 might take a while), you can build it from git. I suspect there is even a PKGBUILD in AUR for it.

See http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … &px=NjQ4Ng and http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/x … 35641.html.
