Xserver errors

[Bill Spitzak]

Not having any luck getting the new xserver compiled.

It seems to require a newer mesa (due to missing symbols like 
__DRI_ATTRIB_FLOAT) but I can't get that to compile. Mesa configure 
fails with this:

./autogen.sh --prefix=$WLD --enable-gles2 --disable-gallium-egl 
--with-egl-platforms=wayland,x11,drm --enable-gbm --enable-shared-glapi 
--with-gallium-drivers=r300,r600,swrast,nouveau
...
configure: error: Package requirements (x11 xext xdamage xfixes x11-xcb 
xcb-glx >= 1.8.1 xcb-dri2 >= 1.8 xcb-dri3 xcb-present xcb-sync xshmfence 
 >= 1.1) were not met:

No package 'xcb-dri3' found
No package 'xcb-present' found
No package 'xcb-sync' found
No package 'xshmfence' found

I have no idea where those packages are found. Also not sure if maybe I 
am off course and don't need to compile mesa this way.
