These gradient updates went into xgl before it was moved to xorg tree so
you have to look in kdrive tree for those changes.

A fix for the server crash should be pretty small. However, larger
changes are needed for accurate gradient rendering. I fixed the gradient
code in pixman so that we could switch cairo over to it. Xgl branch is
using this newer gradient code but master branch is still using the old
code.

We can probably convert the pixman patches to fb without too much
trouble.
