patch for X wakeups

[Arjan van de Ven]

Hi,

I'm sure many here on the list have seen the
X: do_setitimer (it_real_fn)
wakeups and wondered if it was possible to get rid of these....


... wonder no more; I've made a patch to X that optimizes the X server 
and gets rid of these wakeups for pretty much all cases. I've attached 
the patch to this email for those brave enough to build their own X 
server. Note: building X is not easy; I strongly recommend using the 
packaging system of your distro and just adding the patch to that, and 
then build a new package. Building X can be a great way to hose a 
system if you're not very careful

Greetings,
    Arjan van de Ven
