From exa/exa_unaccel.c:

/**
 * Gets the 0,0 pixel of a pixmap.  Used for doing solid fills of tiled pixmaps
 * that happen to be 1x1.  Pixmap must be at least 8bpp.
 */

And yes, there really is little doubt that the implementation returns
the pixel value of the 0,0 pixel of the pixmap.

That pretty much confirms the code doesn't work (before or after your
change).  Probably the answer is to revert the
exaGetPixmapFirstPixel() changes you made (here and in other drivers).
And then disable the DownloadFromScreen() implementation, or perhaps
even disable EXA altogether.
