I tried to rebuild current XFree86-4.2.99.5-0.20030122.2mdk on a plain 9.0 to
have DRI support for a recent radeon. However, i'm facing several problems:
- it doesn't build out of the box due to a problem with freetype 2.0.
Upgrading to freetype 2.1 fix it, but obviously the buildrequires should
specify >= 2.1
- once freetype updated, with_new_fontconfig-Xft defined to 0 leads to build
and install xftache. However, build fails silently for it, and rpm barfs
about missing file
- forcing with_new_fontconfig-Xft to 1 and installing latest libfontconfig
lead to a compilation problem when compiling xftcolor
