I think this bug should be closed- the options in the patch have been
removed from the current (upstream) sources. Glancing through the code
and commit history, it looks like Evdev has been removed from Xorg
server.

Title:
  xserver-xephyr: Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xorg-server package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xephyr

  When starting Xephyr with the following command line:

  Xephyr :5 -ac -screen 1280x1024 -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/by-id
  /usb-04d9_0499-event-mouse -keybd evdev,,device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-
  Logitech_Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-
  kbd,xkbrules=xorg,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=de,xkbvariant=nodeadkeys,xkboptions="lv3:ralt_switch,compose:caps"
  -dpi 100

  The following messages are printed on the console:

  [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list!
  Kbd option key (compose:caps) of value ((null)) not assigned!
  Couldn't find pointer driver evdev
  Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev

  The keyboard and mouse are not working.

  When downgrading xserver-xephyr to version 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7, the error
  messages about evdev don't appear and keyboard and mouse work as
  expected.
