Loki: Known bug in X.Org X Server 1.18.4; how to update?

Asked by Andrew M. Sheppard

There's a [known bug in X Server 1.18.4][1] that is related to SDL-based video playback. It's impacting my ability to use other Ubuntu-packaged video applications such as Flowblade video editor. Flowblade's dev has assisted me isolating the issue via [Black playback screen on Elementary OS 0.4/Loki (Ubuntu 16.04) & MLT 6.0.0.2; works in Shotcut][2].

I tried using “xorg crack pushers” team @ ```ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa``` but that almost hosed my install.

How can I update to 1.19?
