Mostly because I was able to do a full build once before, years ago, and I have not tried since. A perfectly reasonable exercise to build from sources wouldn't you think? > Generally for cases where you want updated drivers you can build them > against the system packages if modern enough. Nothing beats the source for a worth while test. At the moment I am seeing many warnings and I fear that the process that worked only a few years ago won't any longer. Things like : warning: failed to load external entity "/opt/xorg/share/doc/xorg-docs/xext/lbxalg.html.db" warning: failed to load external entity "/opt/xorg/share/doc/xorg-docs/xlfd/xlfd.html.db" also I think this may be wrong : xorg$ CONFFLAGS=\-\-with\-udev\-rules\-dir\=/opt/xorg/udev xorg$ export CONFFLAGS The idea here is to build everything into /opt/xorg but thus far I don't know if this is correct at all anymore : ./util/modular/build.sh --clone --autoresume built.modules /opt/xorg Anyways, a perfectly reasonable thing to try.
