Because I already built, installed, and used these packages. And they both were not working correctly. So it's obviously not proper to built them as they are. A second, or third, or fourth time. Something has to be modified, has to be performed differently. What? Or how?

Actually, I have to apologize to Peter.  I had thought your links went to ready-made builds, but they don't.  So, the question is how do you expect him to install those versions.

Are you suggesting, using MacPorts and doing:

sudo port install xorg-server-devel @1.16.99.1_3

?
