On Gutsy, the fewest number of steps would be to...
apt-get source xserver-xorg-core sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-core fakeroot devscripts cd xorg-server-1.3.0.0*/ ./debian/rules patch patch -s -p1 < ...path/to/the/patch/... debuild -b -nc sudo debi
Take note of the patch step -- it should not produce any errors. The last line installs the debs you just built.
Let me/us know if you have issues.
