Comment 30 for bug 184225

David, before just changing it to 1.4, I really think we need to get to the bottom of why you can build the server, but Raul and I cannot. I can build without the server USE flag, and it does indeed work, so it would be worthwhile getting it working on xorg-1.4 for that, but even better would be to get the patch set updated so the whole things works.

Raul, what is your opinion? I personally found it to be incredibly non-trivial to get the old patches re-worked. I got them so the patches succeeded, but then I started down a path of various compile problems that required even more patching, to the extent that I started to feel uncomfortable. For example, some of the calls in the 1.3 server code are now gone (like miRegisterPointerDevice()), and I was starting to have to guess at how to use the calls in a new way...

But David, I still really do not understand how you could have gotten server to compile. This is a really strange mystery.
