Hi Tiago:

I've been through the archives, also through your website, and also 
through a few other resources.

Alas, I am not a X11 developer, and setting up a full build environment 
that actually works and works well is not trivial.  My second-to-last 
last effort got as far  as locking the machine up totally when Xgl 
started; the current effort, trying to build Xgl from CVS fails since it 
can't find a particular .h file in the Mesa tree....

I guess I am looking for some sort of testing packages or at least a 
'multiseat for idiots' guide for Debian Lenny; there's only so many 
projects I can stay on top of (I am involved in several embedded - no X 
at all - projects).  At some point I have to draw the line and say, "For 
xorg, I am a user, not a developer."  :-(
