The patch is pretty extensive; this means it may not apply cleanly given all the other patches I've made to the driver for Debian's packages. I may not have the patience do a lot of hand-merging, however, I will give this patch a shot. If it's too much trouble I'll let you know; in that event perhaps you can mail debian-x or some other mailing list and find someone with this hardware and willing to prepare a version of the patch for our packages. Thanks for bringing this patch to my attention! -- G.
