you can always add next line to sources.list:

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main

and do an "apt-build xorg" or equivalent set of commands; that's what
I did.

no problem, I rediffed them against your sources. A few words about the 
changes:

- debian/rules & control files => add support for building against 
xserver-xorg and amd64. Also please note that the x86_64 sources are 
different, so the patches are not applying cleanly, that's why I added
debian/patches-8.8.25_64/06-vm_pcie_nopage (all the other patches not 
included are identical with the ones in debian/patches-8.8.25).

Q: how do you like the idea of removing the backup file generated by 
patch, if the diff doesn't apply cleanly; this way we have only one
debian/patches- directory for both i386 and x86_64 ...

- moved all the patches from my previous email, that do not have a 
corresponding diff in your version of debian/patches-8.8.25 dir to
limbo/patches-8.8.25; please not that the most of patches should be 
rediffed, because of different offsets.

PS: I hope I didn't forgot something from my previous diff ..

Best regards,

Alex.
