For the moment my work is purely formal: I want X11 packages to
compile cleanly and without ad hoc patches on NetBSD so that I can
start tracking some bugs related to DRM (may be kernel side but also
user side).

So I can't help you on this for now. Once I have fixed things
superficially, I will have to dive more in the guts on the things. I
may then revisit this issue and try to help on this if you have not
finished what you are working on at this moment.
