Did I misunderstand the 'my' part? </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I think this experience shows how important it is to maintain module sets (add remove). Even more so for those who are new to xorg building. It should just work right out of the box. Except for xgi which got broken recently, all xorg modules build fine. Looking at tinderbox results will help determine if there is a local problem or a problem with the module itself. <A HREF="http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/">http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/</A> All, I am interested in knowing who writes module sets, what's the criteria for the content and who maintains them. Some are created for tinderbox, but I see only one in util/modular. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> On the plus side, it did finish building and I was able to run it! YAY! The only issue I had was i had to install docbook-xml-dtd version 4.1.2. The documentation didn't build with a newer version. Matt </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
