Yes, #11 is not a good solution to this problem. Some one use an
environment variable to set the path, but I don't know whether this
is the solution.

The font-dir part of #12 is from modified from another patch, I
will try to write a better one.

Any suggestions?

Actually, patch #1 to #6 are patches to make xwin compile, patch #7
to #12 are individual bug fix patches.

#7 is a fix to the complain of "mieqEnqueue: out-of-order valuator
event; dropping." in the case that oldtail = 0. Because when oldtail = 0,
the assignment
 
laste = &miEventQueue.events[oldtail -1];

is out of the bound of the array "miEventQueue.events".

#1, #3 is dependent on #4, #5, #6 as you mentioned. It the most important
part, and need careful review before geting into xserver git tree.

I appreciate any comment on these patches.

Thanks very much.
