Hello, Bruce.
First of all thanks for your great job.

Here're some issues from current development version of BLFS book that I
found:

Chapter 25. X Window System Environment
> X Window System Components

1. Code:
mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&
ln -svt /etc/X11 \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{twm,xkb,fs,lbxproxy,proxymngr} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{rstart,xdm,xinit,xserver,xsm} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults

I think it should be something like this (look at -> xkb <-):

mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&
ln -svt /etc/X11 \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{twm,fs,lbxproxy,proxymngr} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{rstart,xdm,xinit,xserver,xsm} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults \
    $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xkb

Did something wrong?
I have X11-data-xkb-1.0.1 like in the book...

2. The next issues:
install -v -m755 -D ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 AND
install -v -m755 -D ~/XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config
Why you make config files executable? "-m644" is more appropriate here I
think

3. Setting up Keyboards
What do we see here?...

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier          "Keyboard0"
    Driver              "Keyboard"
...

X.org won't even start with such config.
There's no such driver "Keyboard" in X.org. There are "keyboard" and
"kbd". Choose any :-)

4. xterm:
--with-app-default=$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults&&
Better variant:
--with-app-default=$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults &&

Thanks for spent time ;)
