The 3 security patches available so far (geteuid, mitri, setuid) are not 
applying properly on top of each other, at least for xorg-6.9 (I didn't 
checked 6.8.2 and 7.0). There are conflicts with CVS headers. I had to 
slightly modified setuid patch to have it applied. See attached patch.

Regards,

Xavier
