I wonder why that hasn't been included in the server-1.2 branch? FWIW,
here's the commit on master:

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commit;h=a34446f5b3d90714969a90583c49cb1eae1c9651

This should really get onto the 1.2 branch as people will certainly
want to build against mesa-6.5.2.
