It is failing to detect your LCD panel. You might need to wait until 4.2.0 is released, as I am not familiar with that code. >>> When compiling X, you'll need to pass -fno-merge-constants to the >>> compiler also.

The XFree86.spec specfile in our src.rpm generates host.def internally by using a here document. You can do "rpm -bp XFree86.spec" to install patched sources, and generate host.def, if you like.
