There haven't been any OFFICIAL patches posted, but there are patches In the unofficial/patch-kit directory is the patchkit, which contains a large number of fixes to the original 0.1 release. There is a new version in the works which fixes all of the patchkit bugs in 0.2, and adds some X patches for the upcoming XFree86 1.2 release. So, if you haven't gotten the patchkit, wait one more day and you will have a fixed version. In case anyone else is interested, I will provide a way to update from the 0.2 to the 0.2.1 patchkit. It's a matter of backing out the patches to patch00061, and then deleting all of the 'bad' and 'changed' patches with new ones.
