WAHOOO!!!!!!

Ted, thank you.

I ran pkg-config --cflags xorg-server and it responded that dri2proto was not installed... So I installed that and all is happy.

It was driving me batty because I had not done anything different, but something wasn't working!!! I must have remove dri2proto at some point and did not realize it. Thank you thank you!

Because that's not how it works :-)  It doesn't search for the file, it
just checks for it.  So if you had:

 #include <xorg/xorg-server.h>

That would work.  The configure script is probably broken in this case
not to look for the appropriate pkgconfig file.  That usually controls
the -I flags for a build.  For instance you can do:

 $ pkg-config --cflags xorg-server

And see where things are on your system.  On my Ubuntu 11.04 system that
returns:

 -fvisibility=hidden -I/usr/include/xorg -I/usr/include/pixman-1
