Other unresolved patches Ubuntu is following

[Bryce Harrington]

In addition to the three patches I just posted, here is a list of a few
other patches Ubuntu is carrying, that are currently blocked somewhere
in the review process:

1.  208_switch_on_release.diff
  * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865
  * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-devel/2013-January/035046.html

  The original proposed patch broke the XKB spec, which I guess is why
  it was not accepted.  However, an alternate version was recently
  proposed last month.  We're hoping that resolves to a solution, that
  can replace the patch we're currently carrying.

2.  227_null_ptr_midispcur.patch
  * https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/930936
  * Possibly dupe of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24181

  I think this just papers over a deeper problem so probably isn't a
  candidate for upstreaming, but it did resolve the recurring crash
  problem for the user, so we're carrying it in Ubuntu.  I haven't
  reproduced the bug myself, but maybe the patch offers some clue.

3.  233-xf86events-valgrind.patch
  * http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/12156/

  Fixes a valgrind error we ran into.  The review comments suggest doing
  a more extensive code refactoring, but given it's been a few months
  maybe that's more than the patch author is prepared to do for now.
