From the character-based console in Ubuntu's "recovery mode" I set "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/xorg_git/lib" and then ran "startx -- /opt/xorg_git/bin/Xorg". I got a sensible display (xterm under fvwm as specified in .xinitrc) but this display would not accept any input from keyboard or mouse. I could, however, drop back to the character-based console with Ctrl-F1 as usual.
The strange thing is, the server doesn't even *try* to load mouse and keyboard. Which is weird, because I thought the newer Xserver autoload everything necessary...
X.Org X Server 1.5.99.1
Did I miss something there? master is at 1.4.99 something.
master is tracking 1.6 (1.5.99.x) development, the server-1.5-branch is tracking 1.4.99.x development. Should we be pulling from that, instead?
Release Date: 5 September 2007
This doesn't look a recent Xserver. Did you get the right sources? Maybe a wrong branch?
That's what it says in the message on mine too, though I am guessing that the "release date" is only updated for the formal releases.
