Does this need to go into the Makefile.am or is this picked up as a default
file?

Checked-in git. The word "default" means that it is a minimum file and contains the "default" section with the URLs which all README contains for consistency.<BR>

also, I wonder if we should just link to wikipedia's articles to avoid
having to actually describe what the X server is :)
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server</A> should answer any questions the first
two paragraphs leave open.

This was the first place I looked for a short, focused description of the X server. I was not satisfied with it, personal opinion. However, the link is a great addition. I will add and resubmit. I'd like to get the file in, it's the third post. It can be improved thereafter.<BR>

Thanks for the review.
