I have Xmd.h on my system:

# ls -l /usr/include/X11/Xmd.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6953 2009-02-20 14:20 /usr/include/X11/Xmd.h

and it's included in the xf86vmode.h file:

# grep Xmd.h /usr/include/X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h
#include <X11/Xmd.h>

It's on line 39, right after the copyright header:

#ifndef _XF86VIDMODE_H_
#define _XF86VIDMODE_H_

#include <X11/Xfuncproto.h>
#include <X11/Xmd.h>   <---- there it is

#define X_XF86VidModeQueryVersion       0
#define X_XF86VidModeGetModeLine        1
....

Any other suggestions?
