Good fix Felix.

I do "hate" local function prototypes.
Its just bad coding style and laziness.
Further it shows a critical lack of
knowledge for the header file organisation.

They are never verified against the
implementation by the compiler and 
might be overseen rather quickly 
when the function API gets modified.

There is only one way of eliminating those flaws:
tuning the compiler warnings to a rather verbose 
level and let the compiler consider them as errors.

Just one question:
Would you (and the XFree86 and the kernel folks)
allow me to "rework" all your sources at that degree, 
touching lots of code lines just to let the compiler 
report a few more warnings? Most of them will relate 
to constellations that are really not dangerous, and
this will possibly unveil not even a single bug at all 
when compiling, possibly not now and not in any future.

Regards AlexS.
