Are you saying that with commerical support and you will replying it back  
quicker with the results? I replied back to you quick and gave you almost  
a month (because I knew your name). I usually give others two weeks to  
reply. Unless if I don't reply PR for long time then I won't close it  
quick since it's fair. Closed the PR actually works to get people reply  
back with the result more quicker.

Configure the xorg.conf and test it only takes five minutes. I will reopen  
this PR when you or others reply back with the result.
