my source list? if 's not, why is supported?
I also installed apt-build, everything went smoothly, it downloaded,

then I went to install a software, and it stop saying that it needed a
certain parameter in line 6 of apt-build.conf. I went and look the file,
everything is as I specified in the configuration wizard except that the
sixth line say options= and nothing else. I understand that that line is
for passing GCC options but I'm not quite good as to know which options
are those, where to find them or which one is the more appropriate to my
computer. I have a athlon-xp 2500+ core barton.
Any suggestion in this topic will be appreciated, good night everyone
 

If you're willing to experiment, build your own X.Org package.

IIRC, attempt to package Xorg for Debian will start after Sarge release.

You said it, so man gcc to list (all?) the options. Probably you
want to enable architecture or CPU type, extesion like 3dnow or sse...
