I've been following upstream discussion about this. It looks like the
patch is being looked at, ported to new boards, probably needs some
changes for randr-1.2, ... So a better version of the patch might get
merged upstream in the near future. We are probably going to wait a bit
instead of applying it ourself right now.

People lived with this patch outside of Debian for several years
already, they probably can wait a couple month again :) Once ati driver
6.7 is released upstream, we'll push it to unstable and might put the
randr-1.2 branch in experimental quickly. The gatos might be merged 
upstream soon at this point.
