It can be done easily with a loop,like dj's method,i did something similar sometime ago. The configure switches are the same for every module so you can easily use a config.site. One thing you have to know,if you try the modular tree,is that you need to build by yourself the libdrm and mesa packages. > I am tempted to build 6.9 instead, as this uses the old build method, if > I am not mistaken, but is the same code as 7.0. > Also, does anyone know if the GGC4 patch is needed for these versions of X? > Yes 6.9 release shares the same code with 7.0. Unofortunatelly i don't have access to the machine i installed 6.9,but if i remember correctly i didn't applied the patch.However there is a bug with agpgart.h. Currently there are two workarounds,one mentioned from Alexander http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2005-December/058158.html where you have to edit the lnx_agp.c file in the Xorg sources dir. The other solution is to edit the /usr/include/sys/kd.h. http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18157 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
