Yes, it should check for X version. Actually, see my comment below, the newest git should update this missing check.

hm, I mentioned stdlib.h as something that was already being included by uxa-priv.h (iirc).

You could build xserver yourself, i.e. install everything into ~/qxl, using PKG_CONFIG_PATH for configure and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for execution.

Yeah, I can imagine how RHEL-5 is a PITA for this. It's even worse - the latest qxl (git, not released) doesn't support any X server but the latest - I broke this backward compat sort of on purpose (lazyness mostly), since it will be released with newer X releases (like F18).
