Hello,
thanks for the support. But, searching for any file named anything with 
server or xorg, the problem starts: there are no packages or *pc-files 
like that, even not any files:
grep /usr/share/pkgconfig/ *xorg \
/usr/lib/pkgconfig
and
grep /usr/share/pkgconfig/ *server \
/usr/lib/pkgconfig

Using Ubuntu 7.10.
