The answer i got was

Please report this as a bug to the X.org developers (and leave a link here). What's happening is that the RANDR extension still reports the previous size of the monitors. If I hardcode the use of CRTCs instead of MONITORS, things start working. Sadly, /usr/bin/xrandr apparently cannot print out the MONITOR information....
In case you are building awesome yourself:

So as per the answer how can i build awesome with the above patch in archlinux

Mod Edit - Replaced oversized images with links.
CoC - Pasting pictures and code

Just to be sure: you're posting a question regarding an issue that you got resolved upstream, an oversized image in violation of the forum rules.
But your actual question is: "How can I build a patched pacman package?"
