[Bryce Harrington]
* Add 123_exa_sys_ptr_nullpointer_check.patch: Patch from upstream to
  verify a pointer is not NULL before dereferencing it. Fixes X
  segfault in miCopyRegion which occurs while using firefox (e.g. typing
  into fields in AOL). Issue found by Jerry Lamos.
  (LP: #539772)
* Add 19-exa-handle-pixmap-create-destroy-in-lower-layers.diff: Patch
  from Debian to fix X segfault on mouse click in xfig, when pixmaps
  are created in the course of software fallbacks.
  (LP: #553647)
* debian/rules: Don't reference the package uploader for support; instead point
  users to the standard Ubuntu support page.
  (LP: #589811)

[Martin Pitt]
* debian/local/64-xorg-xkb.rules: Ignore XKBMODEL=="SKIP" and
  XKBVARIANT=="U.S. English", which happen to get into
  /etc/default/console-setup in some cases like the VMWare automatic
  installer.
  (LP: #548891)

[ Christopher James Halse Rogers ]
* Update 122_xext_fix_card32_overflow_in_xauth.patch to most recent version
  on patchwork tracker. This one actually fixes the crash with xauth
  generate (LP: #519049)

186. By Bryce Harrington on 2010-04-22

* Drop 117_fix_crash_with_createglyphset.patch
  - Dupe of patch 110
* Drop 03_fedora_glx_versioning.diff, 04_fedora_glx14-swrast.diff
  - These patches were brought in by Debian to provide glx 1.4 support
    which Fedora backported from xserver 1.8, however testing in
    Ubuntu showed they caused a crash when closing Clutter apps (#550218),
    and graphics corruption when opening windows. Dropping these patches
    returns us to GLX 1.2, which has been found to be stable; Debian has
    also dropped these two patches.
    (Fixes #565903).
* Drop 114_dri2_make_sure_x_drawable_exists.patch
  - This was an early attempt by upstream which fixed the aforementioned
    Clutter crash, but which introduced a memory leak.
    (Fixes #565981)

Update patches in previous upload to fix FTBS issue.

184. By Bryce Harrington on 2010-04-14

* Add several cherrypicks of fixes from upstream git tree which fix various
  issues and that look safe with low or no risk of regression.
  + 115_xext_fix_cursor_ref_counting.patch: Xext: Fix cursor reference
    counting hazard.
  + 116_fix_typos_in_swap_functions.patch: Fixes typos in several of the
    glxcmdsswap routines.
  + 117_fix_crash_with_createglyphset.patch: Fixes crash introduced in
    FindGlyphsByHash() if one client disconnects while a second is in
    the middle of doing certain Glyph operations.
  + 118_xkb_fix_garbage_init.patch: Fixes typo that can cause garbage
    bits to get appended on the xkbControlsNotify changedControls mask
    because it was uninitialized on the stack.
