Yeah, the X.org version based on an older xfree86 one.

I was a little confused about some functions, which are not declared in 
the header files and also not present in the orginal :D
However, than I have found the calls somewhere in the LB stuff :D
Furthermore, it seems that somebody has changed a few diffs to the 
inTree version, but not all.

The rest of changes are not very interessting. i.e in ops.c all 
functions are static, now.
