Uuh, wonder if this fixes some small visual bugs i have in CIV4.

I hope for you it does, but consider it can be an issue of the gpu driver too (especiall if fglrx )

Still no PulseAudio support?

That said, I generally solved my problems with PA by now, by giving VLC the boot! KMPlayer can handle media just as well.

Or WINE use again an NvidiaGL render Path.

I wonder what exactly the RandR support means. Anyone who could give an example?

I did a little digging and it seems like it means better support for multiple monitors, and performance improvements by taking advantage of functions offered in xrandr 1.2 and 1.3 that weren't in the previously used 1.1. Specifically they mention fewer EDID polls.
