Ah great to hear :)

This is defined in /usr/share/aclocal/xorg-server.m4 which is part of
the xorg-x11-server-devel package. This kind of errors happens when
building from git (and running autogen.sh), and generally don't happen
when building from tarballs and using configure.

Ah, have you rerun autogen.sh after installing these packages?
