yes. MPX is now X (or the other way round). So just follow the  
standard X build instructions, there are no more branches to build.

it may not be picking up the correct libraries and building against  
the default system ones. Search config.log for XSetClientPointer. If  
the check for it fails, xinput builds with XI 1.x only.
Most likely it's just a matter of adjusting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point  
to the right directory (e.g. /opt/mpx/lib/pkg-config in my case).
