I suppose multihead across multiple different graphics cards doesn't |
| 23 |
fall under the common use case? :) |
| 24 |
I don't think that's supported by libXrandr yet, is it? |

I would imagine some power users wanting to use multiple monitors by one |
| 27 |
being from an integrated intel graphics card on a desktop and the other |
| 28 |
from an add-on card that is of different brand. As those usually come |
| 29 |
with two outputs, lets say they have room for three monitors on the |
| 30 |
desk. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
That is to say that some might still find one of the *resolution |
| 33 |
packages useful and removing both at this point doesn't sound like a |
| 34 |
good idea as proposed in response to the removal of one of them. |
