I'm going to hold off on dropping this patch until I have a better understanding of why it was added in the first place, since I would assume it was added because some people experience issues without it. Timo remarked that he had attempted to drop a number of patches including this one for the Feisty release, but ended up restoring them due to issues found. So I assume the issue this fixes is still present. However, perhaps if further research is done we can explore dropping it for Gutsy+1.

Also, it sounds as if xserver 1.4 is right around the corner, so it is also possible that contains a better fix. After that has been incorporated into Ubuntu it would be worthwhile to re-test this bug.
