Ok, download and unpack the sources. (If it's cvs, skip the unpack step, since it isn't packed) This should create a directory called xc. From here on out, everything is relative to xc. cd to config/cf, and copy XF86Site.def to host.def, then edit host.def. Make any changes relevant to drivers that you don't need or compiler optimizations (or don't change anything...) Remember that this file gets parsed by the C preprocessor, so comments are /* comment */, not #comment. Next, cd back to xc, and run 'make World'. This will take quite some time. When it finishes, do 'make install; make install.man', which will install the libraries and binaries, and the man pages.

I have tired to tarballs and now I trying to compile a CVS from last thursday. How is it compiled. Make it really clear, cos I need to get it working on my laptop to do my studies.
