A complete answer depends on why you want to recompile the xserver.

--disable-glx is unfortunately necessary at the moment as some more work is
needed to make it work properly, as discussed here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4906B1B4.5070808%40users.sourceforge.net

I use something like "--prefix=$PREFIX --disable-glx --enable-record
--disable-install-setuid --disable-xorgcfg --with-log-dir=/tmp"

One more thing to watch out for:  If your server fails to start due to being
unable to find the fixed font, assuming you have the necessary fonts installed
in the correct place, this is probably due to the fact that libXfont must be
statically linked.  A quick way of achiving this is to move
/usr/lib/libXFont.la and lbXfont.dll.a aside whilst building the x server.
