I tried pulling the latest from git and I even went through the trouble of updating automake, autoconf, autosomething else and I couldn't get the ./configure script to work.. so I just went back to the latest tar.bz2 release of xf86-video-qxl-0.0.17 as ./configure worked there atleast. I did compile a newer automake and the like in a different path that I was building to.. I think rhel 5.7 was still using the built-in /usr/bin one unless I did the full /sopt/spice/bin/autoreconf path (even though it was first on my path). When I tried to "/opt/spice/bin/autoreconf -i" it seemed to build a ./configure script but it would fail to run.. got to the line about ( ... ,RANDR) and would fail.. So ultimately I never made it to the point where it told me that my xorg release was too old in latest git qxl.

Not sure.. it didn't seem to be (or maybe it was stuck in a #include loop or something?) Once I added it it seemed to get past the uint16_t errors.

I was almost considering doing this but figured my head would be too bloodied from banging it against the wall... I think the only thing left that I wouldn't rebuild from rhel 5.7 would be /etc/motd due to dependencies.

Yes it was more of an experiment on my part to see if I could even just get qxl to build.. spice and everything else seemed to be ok on rhel 5 for the most part. Maybe Redhat can back-port some of that FC18 code into rhel 5, heh... (complete joke, but wishful thinking?)
