It is very clear native package Xorg 6.9.0 on SuSE 10.1 and native package
Xorg 6.8.2 on SuSE 10.0 either do not have this option, or have it disabled
by some means. Even if I misspelled it in mail doesn't mean I didn't read
these options on the Internet and tried. We got a lot of SuSE computers in
the office to try this. Both -sharevts and -novtswitch produce Fatal error
of "unrecongnized option", so doesn '-isolatedDevice'.  Now I am really
interested in how to find a package with these options enabled.  Is the RPM
package attached to the bug you mensioned earlier having this fix?

Ah, I am glad if this impression is wrong, the whole office is equipped with
SuSE already.
