This was once titled "trying to build X from git on Debian 6.0.6" however the essential dependecies and initial falling over on my own face seems to have been passed. May as well get specific as each problem occurs.
All seems to be progressing neatly, however : aster $ ./util/modular/build.sh --clone --autoresume built.modules /opt/xorg Building to run Linux / x86_64 () Tue Jan 22 16:04:16 EST 2013 ====================================================================== == Processing module/component: "util/macros" == configuration options: . . . make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dclarke/xorg/xcb/pthread-stubs' ====================================================================== == Processing module/component: "xcb/libxcb" == configuration options: Cloning into xcb/libxcb... remote: Counting objects: 2611, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1170/1170), done. remote: Total 2611 (delta 1781), reused 2034 (delta 1368) Receiving objects: 100% (2611/2611), 553.61 KiB | 584 KiB/s, done.

Is there a separate repo to pull this from before doing the build ?
