Layman terms (on trusty): Download patch from the bugzilla and place it in a file, let's say "foo.diff"
$ apt-get build-dep xorg-server $ apt-get source xorg-server $ cd xorg-server-1.15.1 $ patch -p1 < ../foo.diff $ fakeroot debian/rules binary This should eventually build a couple of .deb packages with the patch incorporated. It is running for me just now. So no news if it worked or not. Also, it might make sense to modify debian/changelog and add your own version to make it possible to see the change by judging the version number.

Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad. This does not happen with my USB mouse. This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000). I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch. In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
