I do have a package "m4" installed which I believe is the Macros package.
what does autogen.sh d? http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Xserver Tells me: "One way of installing is to to just get a copy of xorg/xserver git repository and build it with configure, make and make install. You need to use --enable-kdrive option to build kdrive." http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Xserver/InstallGuide Says to have, so I confirmed all are installed autoconf --version must report 2.59 or later * automake --version must report 1.9.x * libtool --version must report 1.5 (available from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/ if your distribution doesn't have it) pkg-config --version must report 0.9.0 or later do I start with autogen.sh?
