Hi Amey,

a quick check on the xoo website shows it's using Xephyr, not Xnest. that
might just be it, you need to pass in --enable-kdrive --enable-xephyr at the
configure stage to enable the builds.

note that even if you have Xephyr running, the use of MPX is somewhat
limited unless you let it access the devices directly (see Xephyr's
commandline options for this).
