I feel I should qualify that a bit more.  IMO, Mesa and LibDRM, along 
with *XCB*, should be moved back to the Xorg section for a linear 
installation.  In fact both were in the Xorg section when I originally 
added the modular build to the book.  Precedence and consistency are 
more important, however, and it was decided long ago not to do this as 
they are not required and they are not a part of the official distribution.
