    - MergedFB/Xinerama: Added support for non-rectangular layouts (no panning
        into dead areas, mouse restriced to accessible areas)
    - MergedFB/Xinerama: Added support for RandR. Current window managers are
        smart enough to update their Xinerama-info on RandR events. This
        practically allows switching from dual-head operation to single-head
        operation (by switching to a clone mode and simultaniously resizing the
        desktop) and vice versa.
    - MergedFB: Improved "physical alignment compensation" Offset by
        disallowing panning and mouse movements into dead areas. (However,
        RandR is disabled if that Offset is used.)
    - MergedFB: Made identically looking MetaModes work with RandR. (by
        supplying a fake rate.)
    - Added "Reflect" feature: Reflect screen in x, y or x+y direction (Uses
        shadow framebuffer; no accel, no Xv, no HWCursor.)
    - Added aspect ratio detection for analog (VGA) devices. Produces different
        default modes for 800x480, 1024x576, 1280x720,
    1280x768 and 1280x800 depending on the aspect ratio. Options exist to
        overrule this for each output device.
    - Fixed FSTN support on SiS55x (for 320x240 xSTN panels)
    - Workaround for SiS76x memory access latency issues if no local
        framebuffer memory is present. Driver now allows only one video overlay
        and assumes a quite restricted memory bandwidth. This chip is really
        crippled. / If in hybrid mode, the driver only uses the LFB memory
        (required changes in the video memory layout)
    - Minor fix for machines with Trumpion Zurac LVDS scalers.
    - Fixed bug in SaveScreen() causing a sig 11 sometimes.
    - Added screen blanking for TV output
    - Added two widescreen modes for PAL/NTSC TV output
    - Numerous minor fixes and clean-ups.
    - Numerous whitespace cleanups. Sorry for the noise.
