I was able to make a working xorg package that works. (I'm using the x.org server now.) I basically found which packages were needed for building x.org here: http://incubator.vislab.usyd.edu.au/roller/page/Steve?catname=Debian (The R6.8.1 tarball works well; for me, the cvs version didn't compile the day I used it. Also, the directions on that site are great for xcompmgr.) Then, I installed checkinstall. I ran, in the xc source tree, make World Then, as root, I ran (in the same tree) checkinstall I then had a mostly working x.org server package. All that needed to be done in the postinstall was symlink X11R6 -> /usr/wherever_you_installed_xorg symlink xkb -> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb copy one or two keymappings from the old X11R6 directory (/lib/X11/xkb/compat) to the new directory (xfree86 may be the only one needed) If you go this route, have fun--it's fairly easy. If I had the uplink bandwidth, I'd clean up my package and post it for the adventurous.
