You need to check out _seriously_ old versions of mesa and X (plus it's
drivers). Git ftw.
The only caller I've found (in the Xv implementation of the via/openchrome
ddx) doesn't even care about the timestamp. I'm mildly tempted to just
report 0 always, but via isn't worth that much bother really.
Applied, thanks for the patch.
