Bug Fix

BZ#759022
Previously, a bug in Xephyr's input handling code disabled screens on a screen crossing event. When the Xephyr nested X server was configured in a multi-screen setup, the focus was only on the screen where the mouse was located, and only this screen was updated. The aforementioned code has been removed and the Xephyr server now correctly updates screens in multi-screen setups.
All users of xorg-x11-server are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bugs.

Bug Fix

BZ#783505
Previously, if the X server was configured as a multi-screen setup through multiple "Device" sections in the xorg.conf file, an absolute input device (for example a graphic tablet's stylus) got stuck in the right-most or bottom-most screen. This update changes the screen crossing behavior so that absolute devices are always mapped across all screens.
