I added
deb-src http://debian.uni-klu.ac.at/debian.uniklu/ sarge/uniklu/desktop main contrib non-free
to my sources.list, commented out the other deb-src lines and did:
dixsept:~> apt-get source xserver-xfree86

There's a patch debian/patches/990_i810_i915_from_4_4.diff but it
could be tainted by the XFree86 1.1 license since it comes from 4.4
(but the files don't mention the license, so I'm not sure -- they
mention the authors, though: Alan Hourihane and Keith Whitwell).
