Ok, that's good, sounds like you already have figured it all out. It's
just that the path to the patch must be slightly wrong--usually you have
to strip off some path elemants by using the -p option to patch. In this
case, you might just need to edit the path in the patch header--where it
has the line:

+++ nx-X11/programs/Xserver/os/utils.c  2009-01-10 18:04:16.761853744 +1300

check in the source tree where the X11 code is, and modify the line
accordingly--you could check one of the other patches already in the rpm
(assuming there are some) if you need an example.
