The patch seems to apply fine. I've committed the fix to our git tree, and it'll go in after the freeze is lifted in a couple days or so.

Btw, I've gone ahead and uploaded the package to https://launchpad.net/~bryce/+archive/apple/ if anyone would like to help test it.

---------------
xorg-server (2:1.9.99.901+git20110131.be3be758-0ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low

  * Restore 208_switch_on_release.diff - the patch does not appear to be
    upstream actually. Users confirm the fix regressed without it.
    (LP: #711842)
  * Add 210_pixman_null_ptr_check.patch: pixman_image_create_bits() can
    return NULL under a variety of circumstances, thus needs checked
    before dereferencing it in the pixman_image_set_has_client_clip()
    call.
