Did I miss something there? master is at 1.4.99 something.
Release Date: 5 September 2007
This doesn't look a recent Xserver. Did you get the right sources? Maybe a wrong branch?

Should we be pulling from that, instead?
I tried to repeat the build with an older version of xserver by adding the single line git-checkout -b server-1.4-branch to my shell script immediately after the line "cd $SRC/xserver". But it seems this did not achieve what I intended (bad syntax?), because when I ran the new Xorg executable I got the same line X.Org X Server 1.5.99.1 near the top of file /opt/xorg_git/var/log/Xorg.0.log. The behaviour was the same as before: I got a display but it was unresponsive to keyboard and mouse. I should add that in order to ensure a clean, fresh build, I deleted the source directory /var/tmp/radeonhd_dri and the output directory /opt/xorg_git before running my script. Matthias Hopf wrote:

Missing

here for older Xservers that don't autoload these.
Before attempting to build with the older xserver I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include the option "CoreKeyboard" for InputDevice "Generic Keyboard". (The option "CorePointer" for InputDevice "Configured Mouse" was already present.) This edit had no effect: the display still did not accept input from keyboard or mouse.
