Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Well, Xcms.txt is simply not packaged, but it looks like an example file
anyway, so it is better to symlink it. For reference, these are Debian's
Xorg configuration arguments.

--disable-static: removes useless *.a files, please do the same with all
drivers.
--with-\*=/etc/\*: paths
--disable-xorgconfig, --disable-xorgcfg: don't build interactice
configuration tools. As demonstrated on the LiveCD, one xorg.conf with a
single adjustment (video driver) suits everybody. As a side effect, Cards
and Options files (that contain obsolete content anyway) are removed.
Anyway, the programs look for these files in $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11 (see the
source), while they are actually installed in $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11. So
these programs don't work now anyway, and nobody noticed. Remove them.
--with-int10=x86emu: required for the "vesa" driver and some others that
call into the BIOS to work under 64-bit kernels and 32-bit userspace. Yes,
I know this is beyond BLFS, but this bug has been reported on the LiveCD
and fixed.
--disable-type1: freetype can handle Type1 fonts just fine.
