Hi, I'm no xserver developer, but this seems to be fairly easy to find out with git in an xserver checkout: $ git log -SClockRangesPtr --all brings up a list of commits, the first one of which is the one whose email you found: commit 326429badfc76885e4652ddc72860810c0e8d102 Author: Adam Jackson <a...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Nov 10 14:56:36 2009 -0500 modes: Remove the ClockRanges type Then to find out about the versions, we can do: $ git describe 326429badfc76885e4652ddc72860810c0e8d102 xorg-server-1.7.99.2-39-g326429b $ git describe --contains 326429badfc76885e4652ddc72860810c0e8d102 xorg-server-1.7.99.901~68 So we see that this particular patch landed between release tags 1.7.99.2 and 1.7.99.901. Hope that helps. Thanks, pq
