Ah, yes. So my change was a bit incomplete. I think we do want this header to be owned by the proto package, so that we can still build xserver 1.6 say, (good for bisecting). So we just need to fix the library, (by renaming its header, and making sure that xf86dga.h includes *that* header when not building the server). This should give us compatibility with everything, while still leaving the benefit that all of the non-protocol content is moved out of the proto package and into the library. I've got two commits (one to xf86dgaproto and one to libXxf86dga) that seem to work fine for this. I'll follow up with those here, and wait to see if they get any negative feedback before pushing them. If we run into any other similar compatibility problems we should be able to address them in similar ways. -Carl
