Thanks for the patches and you're right, pull is the easiest way.

Two comments regarding the patches though:
- using ErrorF is generally discouraged in the driver. While it's a public
  symbol exported by the server, it sidesteps some grep-able prefixes and
  the verbosity settings.  please just do a quick replacement to
  xf86Msg(X_ERROR, "blahblah"). Other than that, the patch is fine.

- The second one (bamboo support) looks good to me though I wish that over
  time model checking will be somewhat streamlined and won't rely on string
  checking, temporary variables, etc. There's some possible cleanup work
  there.

Last thing - please make sure you sign off the patches when committing.
If you can send me a pull request for the two fixed up patches, I'll merge
them in. Thanks again for your work!
 
Cheers,
  Peter
