I don't believe so. Oh, let me warn you: This X patch is really ugly.
At present it references a bunch of BSD code, which is actually Linux
code, just in the wrong spot. It is also only targeted to the NetWinder
at present. It really should be rewritten, and I'm doing my best to avoid
it. :) I shudder whenever I think about it.

You should be able to find it at (along with the remainder of the XFree86
rpms). I'm assuming you have rpm2cpio or something similar to extract
them?
ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/devteam/stewart/redhat/RPMS/versioned/
I am extracting the XFree86 patches from the source rpm as well, they will
be at:
ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/devteam/stewart/patches/XFree86/
The following two contain most of the arm stuff, although there may be a
few pieces in some of the other pathches:
XFree86-3.3.3.1-arm.patch
XFree86-3.3.3.1-2010.arm.patch
[Question: If one where looking for a version of XFree86 from Debian
which compiles on the ARM, would it be in woody? I really want a more
recent version, and may play with moving some patches up to XFree86-3.3.6
this weekend. This is assuming I can generate the file listings for my
cross compiler environment this week.]
Good luck,
-Rms
