Could somebody consider committing the patch from
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45623 to the xserver
tree?

I posted it a month ago the list, but got no reaction.
See: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-devel/2012-June/031660.html

And Jeremy Huddleston suggest in the bug, that I should keep bothering
the devel list...

Why I think, it should be committed:
It fixes two bugs, that are obious, if you look for them.
And the patch should be well tested, as it is already getting shipped
by Gentoo in their xorg-server-1.12.2. (
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/x11-base/xorg-server/files/xorg-server-1.12-xf86edidmodes-array-bounds.patch?view=log
) That version has been marked stable for amd64 and x86 since 24.6.
and I can't find any relevant bugs in the Gentoo bugtracker. (Except
that someone yet again hit the compile error with the unpatched 1.11
version: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420127 )

Thanks for considering to apply my patch.

Torsten
