Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, if the X server was configured as a multi-screen setup through multiple "Device" sections in the xorg.conf file, an absolute input device (for example a graphic tablet's stylus) got stuck in the right-most or bottom-most screen. This update changes the screen crossing behavior so that absolute devices are always mapped across all screens.
