That will be another good example for the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. > There is no reference to ~/.xinitrc, startx, DRI, X resources, or > Monitor Settings.

No, I don't think a man page is sufficient. The xinitrc and Xresources files are still very relevant. Monitor settings are handled by the window manager now days via xrandr. > I didn't see any reference on how to test the initial setup so a user > can see if what is built so far is working. Yes, I mentioned this in my crossed email message. I'm going to wait to add that until I get the demos back into the book. Do you think it would be better to revert to the old in the interim? There is much outdated in the old, for instance, there is no reason to create the xorg.conf file for 95% of users, but those instructions will work to test the system until verification of DRI. I don't honestly see myself getting to the demos until next weekend. I was actually thinking about adding them back as a patch to Mesa instead of a separate package as we only install the two files.
