To install Xgl I use the http://dev.gentoo.org/~hanno/ overlay and as I can see this patch is aplied to MESA on emerge.

        epatch ${FILESDIR}/mesa-glx-x11-get-drawable-attribs-fix-1.diff
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/mesa-glx-x11-texture-from-pixmap-1.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/r200-copy-pixels-1.patch

        epatch ${FILESDIR}/makedepend-location.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/6.4-dont-install-gles-headers.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/change-default-dri-driver-dir.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/6.4-multilib-fix.patch

Hmmmm, Xgl here is incredible slow. It's almost impossible to move any window :/
