No.  Making this fix required changing the interface between the server
and the drivers a bit.  Hence the patch is bigger than you would think,
and not something we want to give out.  If you would like, you can join
the beta team, and get access to the beta code, so we can make sure
that it really does solve your problem.  If you want to do this, send
mail to <xfree86@physics.su.oz.au>
