You're running an old version of the server. Currently xf86EnableAccess is
just a dummy function and initPciState doesn't exist anymore. 

We're trying to move out from the server this hardware access functions and
you should probably go for that other ideas that the guys replied before.
Otherwise you could take at libpciaccess and port to your architecture
requirements.
