please use the following command to get the Dave's drm-2.6 tree and then switch to drm-next.
   git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git

You can download the xorg-xserver source code from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=xorg-server-1.6.3
and then apply the patch on it.
And from the xorg log it seems that the patch is already applied. And it confirms that the mode(0x0) is related with the linux kernel.

In fact when patch set in comment #13 is applied, the issue will be fixed.
Thanks.
