I just wanted to be able to move my mouse again =)

I did notice this oddness in the changelog while pushing my bump:

* Wed Nov 09 2011 Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at redhat.com>  2.6.99-1.20111109git745fca03a
- Today's git snapshot

* Thu Aug 18 2011 Adam Jackson <ajax at redhat.com> - 2.6.99-3.20110601giteaf202531
- Rebuild for xserver 1.11 ABI

You can't do that - 2.6.99-1.(anything) is 'older', so far as rpm is
concerned, than 2.6.99-3.(anything). It doesn't matter if the (anything)
contains a later date.

You should only reset the first part of the revision to 1 if you're
changing something that comes *ahead* of it (e.g. going from 2.6.99 to
2.7.0). Your build should have been 2.6.99-4.20111109git745fca03a .

Anyway, as of my build we're back up to 2.6.99-3, so it should all shake
out now.
