I think all you need to do is get the mesa synchronization bits
matched up. Try the attached patch. It doesn't change any of the
xserver source, just syncs up to mesa HEAD properly until there's a
real solution for this issue. What you're seeing is that the files for
slang_version_syn changed names, and xorg-server-1.1.1 doesn't know
about it. Amongst other problems.
