I know that already, but I think that this small patch doesn't affect the stability of other arch, but maybe I'm wrong about that, not possible to simply add this patch?

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but the simple fact is that amd64 is not a supported arch, and therefore this bug is *not* release-critical. I have been (gently) pressured by the release management team to get xfree86 solid for the sarge release. That means concentrating on release-critical bugfixes. If you'd like some good news, I have started work on packaging X.Org X11 6.8.2. This should have better support for AMD64 and a lot of other nice things besides. The Subversion repository is here: svn://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xorg-x11 Also, in the future, please send followups to bug reports to the bug address (in this case, [EMAIL PROTECTED]). -- G.
