Sorry, but you dont mention what hardware and software you are using.
So far i found the current XFree86 core rather stable myselves.

"-l" instructs the compiler to search for things like "lib*.a" (possibly
lib*.so as well)
in your case the postfix "Xau" completes to "libXau.a" which is
missing for some unknown reason. Maybe it was just not rebuild
or did not get symlinked into the XFree86 exports directory.
see ~/xc/lib/Xau for the sources, at least with X4.1.0 there it is.

When you have virtual screens enabled, the virtual screen area
is at least as big as your biggest X and Y resolution. In your
case you will spot 1280x1024 virtual area if your board has
the caps. Please try "man XF86Config" for turning virtual screens off.
Hint: you can order the resolutions as you want, i.e. you can start up
with highest and then decreasing by simply listing them reverse.

I think you can advance your system with these hints.
Excuse me tha i am only adressing the basics - thats
the area where i supposed the help is needed for now.
