Sorry, I was using Bora arm target. I should name them properly, forgot 
that SDK_ARM is Bora now :-) So in fact I have build 
xorg-server_1.1.99.3-0osso31 which is in IT2007. Size on device is 
approx 1.2MB too.

In IT2006 it is xserver-kdrive_6.6.3-28 and package is not named 
xorg-server but xserver-xomap.

For 2.2 unmet dependencies are

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: flex libxproto-composite 
libxproto-damage libxproto-colorkey libxproto-resource libxres-dev 
libxkbfile-dev libxdmcp-dev

This is worse and indeed does not build at all. I have only following 
repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://repository.maemo.org/ gregale free non-free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ gregale free non-free

I guess adding older 2.1 or 2.0 ones is not good idea. So this looks 
much harder then in Bora.
