I am working on ironing out a lockup, once i am done with that i will
update ddx to give more information on where it fails and why. Note
that my ddx may not work with lastest Xserver from git (i am using
1.6 or 1.6.1) i will update ddx bits too once i am done with fixing
more urgent bug in this WIP code.
