patch allowing xserver 1.6.99.1 to build with '--enable-debug'

Hi ! This is my first post here -
so first I'd like to thank everyone for the great work on the new X server 1.6 ,
which I've been attempting to compile and get working, on this platform:
hardware:  x86-64 ( AMD TL-64 x2 (dual core k8) 2.2Ghz, 2GB RAM, Radeon X1200 Mobility xf86-videeo-radeonhd supported video card)
OS:        linux-2.6.29-rc6-tip-x86
GCC:       4.3.3
GLIBC:     2.9.90

Having git-pulled the latest versions of xorg ( xorg/libX*, xorg/app/*, xorg/driver/xf86-{input-{keyboard,mouse,synaptics,evdev},video-{radeonhd,vesa,vga}}
xorg/data/*, xorg/app/*, xserver ) as of 2009-02-28, and rebuilt everything OK,
with vanilla './autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64' I find that Xorg
starts up and displays OK, but is unable to receive ANY input from
keyboard or mouse, so just freezes.  

This was on my own "latest of everything" Linux distribution (origally Gentoo 
based) - but on Fedora Rawhide, the situation is the same - X freezes on startup  - I will raise a different bug on this issue if I am unable to resolve -
this bug is for being unable to add the '--enable-debug' flag to xserver configure command line.

Attempting to enable debug in the Xorg server by adding the '--enable-debug'
configuration flag makes xserver unable to build without this patch, because
of these gcc errors:
<gcc_error>
events.c:3678: error: 'ET_DeviceKeyPress' undeclared (first use in this function)
xkbAccess.c:
</gcc_errors>

Just thought I should let you know !

Anyone have any success getting xserver-1.6 to work on a linux-2.6.29-rc3+
( Fedora 11 / Gentoo latest ) ?
