Arjan van de Ven posted a patch[1] for fixing unnecessary
wakeups caused by xorg-server. It applies cleanly to

So this kind of patches should be taken with care. Though I would *love* to see more such patches applied *mainstream*.
Regarding brokenness, I haven't been using the patched xorg-server for long (only about a day), so it's too early to say for sure it doesn't break anything, but I haven't noticed odd behaviour until this moment.
