CVSup hasn't been around for a while now, because no-one who actually
knows/uses CVSup has set it up.

If you want the entire repository, you could use rsync:
rsync anoncvs.freedesktop.org::cvs/xserver .

xserver is an old experimental project that's unimportant today.  All X
server development happens in xorg/xserver/xorg, basically.
