Hi Daniel,

Finally had some time to compile this up.  Found one problem in 
globalsettings.cpp: line 2964 is not protected by USING_XRANDR, but 
VideoModeSettings is.

My system is recording right now, so it will be a bit before I install 
it.  I will try and let you know how it works out later on tonight.
