Are we rebasing xorg-x11 packages in F20?

I thought multi-gpu randr was supported in 1.4? I certainly see one 
provider for each of the two gpus in this machine, and can see five 
connectors across the two with three monitors connected. It looks like 
it just adds an extra digit to the connector names on the second card:

DVI-I-1 connected primary 2560x1600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x 
axis y axis) 646mm x 406mm
DVI-I-2 connected 1200x1600+2560+0 right (normal left inverted right x 
axis y axis) 408mm x 306mm

DVI-I-1-3 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-1-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-1-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

The fact that X crashes (BZ#1110273) if I try and rotate the monitor on 
the second graphics card means I can't actually use them all, but it 
works if I don't try and rotate it.
