Really? First debian-arm, now xorg-devel? Talk about barking up the 
wrong tree.

Why don't you talk to the relevant projects and relevant people, 
starting with the community at http://www.linux-sunxi.org/
Info about our mailing list can be found here: 
http://linux-sunxi.org/Mailing_list

Also, the nice people who created the cubieboards are quite active in 
the sunxi community, and they have provided many active community 
members with boards like the cubietruck.
