I don't see why that's necessary, as long as you rename /usr/X11R6 to something else so the binaries and libraries will not be in the search path. I just checked the results of my plain-vanilla, no defaults changed build of 6.82 last fall and everything... EVERYTHING went into /usr/X11R6 with the exception of a couple of directories and libraries that are symbolic links into the appropriate /usr/X11R6 location. So if I move that folder to a safe place, a new build of Xorg7 whould not conflict with the hidden files in any way. I'm going to try it this weekend, if I have the time, and I'll report any problems with the CVS instructions or conflicts with my existing 6.82 build. -- Peter B.
