These are automatically generated code snapshots and nothing more. If you look at <http://www.xfree86.org/develsnaps/> you'll see that there is "no guanrantee that any given snapshot will build or run." >BTW - how do I tell what version of cvs I got? Assuming you checked out the trunk (which is the default), you got the lastest development code as of the time you checked it out. The version is "something later than the previous snapsnot".
