After extracting Mesa-6.5 & removing the --disable-glx option, I was able to successfully build Xorg-7.1. Now I just have to find a method to correct the flatness on my head from banging it on the desk for days...<br><br> As an aside, I am sure that I am not the only one that has trouble following the documentation. Who/how would (it) be to update the website?<br><br>Thanks again for your reply,<br><br>-ejb<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Dan Nicholson <dbn.lists@gmail.com><br>To: EJBoshinski <mistrz.linux@yahoo.com><br>Cc: xorg@lists.freedesktop.org<br>Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 10:37:58 AM<br>Subject: Re: Building Xorg 7.1 from tarballs<br><br><div>On 11/29/06, EJBoshinski <mistrz.linux@yahoo.com> wrote:<br>><br>> Greetings,<br>><br>> In following the steps on X.org Modular Developers Guide to build the<br>> entire X11R7.1 release, several errors are encountered that cause the<br>> compilation to fail.<br>><br>> 1).
