Thanks both of you. I did find a precompiled Xephyr that runs on my computer and has evdev enabled, but It doesn't seem to have glx support. So, I've been able to explore a little further into the set up but it looks like compiling this myself still needs to happen.
@Yan: I do have X in the Ubuntu repos, but it doesn;t have all the features I need enabled. Maybe this is more of an ubuntu question, but is the following something I could do? apt-get remove xserver-xorg apt-get build-dep xerver-xorg apt-get source --download-only xserver-xorg cd wherever-it-went ./configure --enable-kdrive --enable-xephyr --enable-xfake --enable-xfbdev --enable-kdrive-kbd --enable-kdrive-mouse --enable-kdrive-evdev --enable-glx-tls make sudo make install Also, xserver-xephyr is a package. I could do something like the above with just xserver-xepher, but I wouldn't know how to compile it (what flags to set, etc) My Xorg error log is at the end of this email. It shows that X fails to find nvidia. This is from when I tried to run X I compiled in order to run Xephyr I compiled on it. I was getting errors running Xephyr that I compiled on the X from the repo and I thought this would help. It did not. @ Alan: Thanks. I have been unable to find a comprehensive list of what directories I would need to set. I suspect that these xkb issues are just the first in a longer list (for instance, there is a long list of success messages that do not appear. So even making this error go away is not success). I am fine clobbering my repo version. Could I set the --prefix to overlap the repo version? Or, do you know where I could find a more comprehensive list of paths I can and should define at compile time? Or, do you know anything about getting the source from the Ubuntu repo and compiling it with --enable-kdrive-evdev and --enable-glx-tls? I tried --with-xkb-bin-directory=/usr/bin/ --with-xkb-path=/var/lib/xkb/ and I still get the same XKB error. Not sure if the xkb-path is right. $ ls /var/lib/xkb/ README.compiled server-02D8252E59564A234380F1E5417646A9DB3B7452.xkm server-53628FFEAE787BDF7F5128B07068E2A1D9DEC814.xkm server-8AA988DD479FAABEC4FC3CCCF4CC29B4948840B4.xkm server-8C3648A5FD728529D869F46730BE1BC287DB231C.xkm server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm Xorg.0.log: [ 2965.486] X.Org X Server 1.12.2 Release Date: 2012-05-29 [ 2965.486] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 2965.486] Build Operating System: Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64 [ 2965.486] Current Operating System: Linux clearview3 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:16:28 UTC 2013 x86_64 [ 2965.486] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-19-generic root=UUID=525cf535-2bb2-4d94-8e17-8e2516fc96b0 ro nouveau.blacklist=1 quiet splash [ 2965.486] Build Date: 24 January 2014 04:21:24PM [ 2965.486] [ 2965.486] Current version of pixman: 0.30.2 [ 2965.486] Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
