Thanks Adam,
I may be misinterpreting but I would have thought that this meant I was
getting current xorg-server HEAD not the 1.7branch that matches the
system I'm building on.
My aim was to get as close to the running system (kubuntu 10.4) since
the doc suggests to get as close as possible to get libvnc to work.
Is that not what I need to do or am I mistaken about what HEAD is ?
thx
