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)

Why not use the xephyr in the repository? (Sorry if I missed something earlier in the thread....)

Definitely a debian/ubuntu question, and getting off topic and out of my knowledge bounds, but you don't want to just ./configure - I think there's a dpkg-build (??) command that builds the proper deb for your system and installs it, and most importantly, registers it so that all the other programs know you have a functioning X.
