[SOLVED] Can't install linuxwacom from AUR with latest X Server

Question

I am unable to reinstall linuxwacom, which I had reinstalled perfectly the day before the big update from testing yesterday, which, among many other things, updated X Server to 1.7.0.901-1.
Here is the error output (am installing linuxwacom 0.8.4-6 from the AUR). I'm including everything that apears (to me) to be associated with the error, but if there should be more or less, let me know:

Because of this, I can no longer use my pen or touchscreen. My tablet is a Lenovo X61t.
This is probably due to the testing repo as the package's maintainer (gwash) was unable to reproduce this with the latest updates from core and extra installed.
[edit] Perhaps this is because this package is designed to be compatible with version 1.6 of X Server, and I'm using 1.7 (the latest in testing). Are any other tablet users in testing experiencing this problem? [/edit]
[edit] And as I thought, downgrading xorg-server to 1.6 fixed this (this also required downgrading evdev and the intel driver). So it's just linuxwacom's incompatibility with verison 1.7, which will hopefully be fixed soon. Marking the subject line as SOLVED, though the real solution is an update to linuxwacom. [/edit]

I've added the patch to the linuxwacom-cvs package.
Thanks, but I still can't build it:
