Thanks for the patch and ebuild.  We won't add this to the tree until it's accepted upstream, so keep an eye on the freedesktop bug.
Comment 5 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-12 15:29:21 UTC 
There was some 64-bit patch for Xephyr that went into GIT recently, I believe.  I don't have the time to track it down right now (I really should have kept the commit message - doh), but if you want to find it we'd be happy to include it the next chance we have.

Thanks!

Steev, I know you were interested in this, so I'm adding you to CC.

Any news on the upstream patch?
Problem still there in latest ~amd64 xorg-server-1.3.0.0 it seems.

It's on our inclusion list, but we just haven't had time to commit it yet.

Hmm, as Steev pointed out, this patch doesn't even apply to X servers currently in the tree.  If someone wants to adapt the patch to the 1.3 server, that would be very much appreciated.
