To recap:

1) The 1.6.x patch can be immediately applied to X server 1.6.3 in Karmic. Enjoy!

2) The 1.6.x patch can be applied to X server 1.6.0 in Jaunty as well, but only after cherry-picked commits from Geode 2.11.4.1 have been applied to Geode 2.11.1-1 in Jaunty.

3) The 1.4.1 patch can be applied to X server 1.4.1 in Hardy only after cherry-picked commits from Geode 2.11.4.1 have been applied to Geode 2.9.0-1ubuntu2.5 in Hardy. This might prove to be a lot harder to accomplish than items 1 and 2 , because of the sheer number of recent #ifdef in Geode that were added to support newer X servers that we'll need to weed through before we can spot essential fixes and verify that they apply cleanly on 2.9.0 without introducing any regression. The difficulty level might be similar to the 2.8.0 to 2.9.0 jump we made right after Hardy was released. From this perspective, resorting to a straightforward backport of 2.11.4.1 might prove to be a more practical solution.
