Any module (drivers) depending on xserver also depends on some of the server private dependencies. Any driver including xf86.h depends on xext, kbproto, inputproto and randr. These dependencies are in separate packages, so anything can happen, removal, wrong version, etc... and the driver fails during compilation. Having the private dependencies declared will ensure all packages the server depends on are present and at the correct version. Currently each module attempts to check for server dependencies with various degrees of accuracy. With this patch, the driver will only need to check for its own explicit dependencies. Now that xproto is included in Requires.private it is removed from Requires. All the cflags from both Requires and Requires.private are returned to caller to pkg-config.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
