yes, sure I can compile and install the newer libpciaccess library.
But my question is that why do the X server developers want libpciaccess.so 
separated from the X server.

Any good reason to do this ?

 Best Regards


Kevin

If you can upgrade the X server, then you can upgrade libpciaccess, so I don't
see the problem.
