Thank you!  I also had to apt-get source xorg-server=2:1.7.7-13,
as I had gotten the source package for the squeeze-backports
X server (no wonder it wanted all the newer libs, etc ...)

It's compiling now.  I'll try out the unchanged server
to see that it works as well as the old one, then try making changes.
