Thank you for this patch.
I can confirm it works.
I get proper alpha in Xorg and I can use st in Xfbdev.

The patch didn't apply as-is to git st.
I applied the patch by hand, and I'll add the output of git diff as an attachment.

Maybe this patch should be added to the list of alpha patches on the page for st on the suckless wiki?
