I beg to differ, that patch is not needed - it is only a alternative to adding 'option "XAANoOffScreenPixmaps"' to xorg.conf. So, to avoid entering a line in xorg.conf if you still use XAA (soon to be obsolete), everyone using EXA (which is the future direction of X acceleration) has to rebuild his own xserver-xorg. Seems like a big difference in scale.
