http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-September/027935.html BLFS will have to wait for 1.4.1 IMO. I'm not sure if this affects 1.4.0.90. I also had build failures in video-glint and video-wsfb, which I do not need. Otherwise, there were no major changes besides all the ver +0.0.1 input drivers all the newest .0.0.1 video drivers + intel 0.1 and libpciaccess (accounting for the newer video drivers used) and pixman. I'm building most in non-standard paths so I can rip it all out easily when xorg-server-1.4.1 is released. I'll put the wgets I used in my homedir if anybody want's to take a stab at it. Now, flying by the seat of my pants, I'm off to try and figure out the old compiz/berly/xgl stuff and see if it all still applies. :-) -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
