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.

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.
