I think Ubuntu Gutsy didn't packed the last kdrive tree with evdev. What 
you'll have to do is:
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver
$ cd xserver
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/something/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh 
--prefix=/opt/something --enable-kdrive --enable-xephyr
$ make
$ sudo make install

If something gets wrong read carefully here [0].
