What I always do, and what works for me pretty much all the time is to set
the ProjectRoot to /usr/X11R6 when compiling the DRI tree and then doing just
a plain make install. This should install all the things that DRI needs to
be newer/different and leave around anything that isn't contained in the DRI
tree. Removing /usr/X11R6 and installing the DRI tree will not work,
however. There are many things that are part of X (xterm, and all the other
apps) that are not included in the DRI tree, not to mention all the other
applications that install files into /usr/X11R6 (app-defaults for one).
Hope this helps.
