My apologies for the noise and the time lost due to this thread, DJ, Armin, all. I install X in /usr, so never had to read past "If you've decided to use the standard /usr prefix, you can omit the remainder of this page." in "Introduction to Xorg-*" page. This time, I tried to do things quickly, because what I wanted was to check sane/xsane for LFS"7,2", and so, my eyes were caught by that sed and I forgot sentence above.
