It did reach CVS, fyi, but their changelogs are not keyed by date, but
rather by month, then by person and aren't guaranteed to be in
chronological order within the month :-P Of course it would be much
easier to isolate the patches if they had a cvsweb interface, but I
digress. There are also changes made after Joshi's patches that
supposedly fix a few more things with the M6's, including endian problems,
etc..

If you beat me to it (likely...I just got a GameCube, so there goes my
free time :-P), send the patches in a bug report to Branden (the X
maintainer). He is willing to accept them for inclusion into the Debian
XFree86 package as long as they're contained and tested.
