Well, not quite -- there's no reason to duplicate files already in the
source tree as your patch does, or to hardcode values that are defined
elsewhere.  That's not usually the XFree86 way.

Anyway, I've committed a fix for this problem, based on what was in
XFree86 4.3 (rather than relicensing the GPL'd version you sent :-).

Just a suggestion regarding licensing of patches: The best way to avoid
all possible confusion is to make the licensing unambiguous.  I often
go straight to the patch attachments, and that only has a GPL on it.

Thanks for your report.
