I might need your help with applying the modified xorg.scm - here's what
I tried and the error I got when reconfiguring:

$ cd ws/guix
$ git pull
$ git checkout 33023baac8ec548fe64ce8e4eb48840b5411ee4c

[modify gnu/services/xorg.scm]

$ guix environment guix
$ make clean-go
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo herd stop guix-daemon
$ sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild

And in a separate terminal:

$ sudo su
$ ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure ~ben/guix-config/test.scm
