+==== GreenishBitmaps ====
+
+'''Warning''': This article is rated PG0xF00F, parents discretion *not* advised.
+
+I've been struggling for the last few days on a the damn X server.
+
+In the RedHat builds, we're still using a pre-release of 1.2,
+labelled 1.1.99.  Now, we need to leverage some upstream work
+for input rotation that is landing on the Xorg tree right now.
+
+Backporting is not an option, and we want to stay up to date
+anyway.  We'll soon be moving to Fedora 7 anyway.  But even
+the just-released 1.3 that will be in Fedora 7 is not enough,
+because it has been branched some time ago, we must work
+from the tip of the git tree, which of course has become
+very unstable recently.
+
+I've been fighting all the week against all sort of bugs
+and build problems and, believe me, it's a very energy
+consuming exercise.
+
+The funniest thing I'm still trying to track are
+these GreenishBitmaps that nobody else except me
+is seeing.
+
+It's probably a miscompilation of some kind, but I've
+long ago ran out of obvious and less obvious ideas to try
+and I'm now far in the land of impossible things.
+
+All this time I've been in contact with a few X
+hackers on IRC, including the author of the AMD
+driver, but even them couldn't come up with a
+magical solution.
