Comment 39 for bug 315456

There is a problem with using the 0001-dix-EventToCore patch and debian xorg-server-1.7.3.901
When running dpkg-buildpackage, one of the tests fails.

I don't use the latest git xorg server because of nvidia driver support.

/dix/input/init-valuators: OK
/dix/input/event-core-conversion: [dix] EventToCore: Not implemented yet
[dix] EventToCore: Not implemented yet

As for building the package, here are some of the commands:
If nvidia drivers are installed, I removed them and
sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgl1-mesa-dev

x@desktop: mkdir xorgsource
x@desktop:/home/x$ cp dl/0001-dix-EventToCore-needs-to-copy-the-root-window-too.patch xorgsource/
x@desktop:/home/x$ cp dl/0001-Re-enable-the-RECORD-extension.patch xorgsource/
x@desktop:/home/x$ cd xorgsource/
x@desktop:/home/x/xorgsource$ apt-get source -t experimental xorg-server
x@desktop:/home/x/xorgsource$ cd xorg-server-1.7.3.901/
x@desktop:/home/x/xorgsource/xorg-server-1.7.3.901$ patch -p1 < ../0001-dix-EventToCore-needs-to-copy-the-root-window-too.patch
x@desktop:/home/x/xorgsource/xorg-server-1.7.3.901$ patch -p1 < ../0001-Re-enable-the-RECORD-extension.patch
x@desktop:/home/x/xorgsource/xorg-server-1.7.3.901$ dpkg-buildpackage

then sudo dpkg -i the packages generated.
