I did this some years back... Is it possible to build X using your
package manager and install that?
Other than that, you will have to sort out all of the various paths by hand.
It looks like you have a path conflict where the compiled version is
possibly trying to use some files from your package manager.
Do you have a X log file?

I'm trying to use Xephyr to make a multiseat setup. To do this, I
need evdev support and hardware acceleration for graphics. I've read
that I have to compile Xephyer from source to do that. I have looked
at several examples like this:
http://www.amxl.com/c/single-graphics-card-multi-seat-ubuntu-linux
I downloaded the source from
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/src/xserver/
I ran
./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
No errors so far. I now have two versions of X and Xephyr. From the
repos in /usr/bin/, and from this build in /usr/local/bin/
The version I built breaks:
$Xephyr :2

I found the xkb files in /var/lib/xkb but I have no idea where Xephyer
expects to see them. Other resources on the Internet have suggested
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/ and /usr/lib/X11/xkb/
But, the built version is not doing any "Initializing built-in
extension" so I suspect there's much more that is broken.
The compiled X does not start either, claiming there is no nvidia
module. It uses the same xorg.conf that the repo X uses, and the repo
X obviously works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Elliot
